Join us for our annual candlelight Christmas celebration: featuring festive music and traditional Moravian refreshments. This is a very casual advent service which will help to get your Christmas season started right!
What is a Moravian Lovefeast, you ask?
?It is a unique, communal worship service rooted in the traditions of the Moravian Church, focused on fellowship, gratitude, and unity. It’s inspired by early Christian gatherings and the shared meals of the early church, offering a way to come together in celebration of God’s love and to deepen bonds within the community.
?During a Lovefeast, congregants are served simple food, typically a sweetened bun or bread and a warm drink, symbolizing fellowship rather than a sacrament. Special hymns are sung, and readings or personal testimonies are often shared to inspire and uplift. The Lovefeast meal is prepared and served by church members, symbolizing service to others and reflecting the warmth of shared faith.
?The Lovefeast tradition, especially popular around Advent and Christmas, fosters a sense of belonging and shared faith, and it serves as a reminder of God’s boundless love for all.
