MORAVIAN LOVEFEAST

Please plan to join usDecember 16, 4:00 p.m.

The Lovefeast has its origin in the lives of early Christians who gathered to break bread together symbolizing union, fellowship and love.  You may have heard the other name for this gathering as an agape meal.  The custom of the Lovefeast originated in Marienborn, Germany, in 1747, and was celebrated in this country by Moravians in 1753. The service includes a variety of music, scripture and prayers. The meal includes a hot sweetened coffee with cream or cocoa with a slightly sweetened and spiced bun.  The service concludes with candlelight reminding all that Christ said, “I am the light of the world” and “you are the light of the world – let your light shine before others so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.”
