Moravian History EXTRAVAGANZA

UPDATE: Due to low registration, we are sorry to announce that the Moravian History Extravaganza will not be offered on June 18. However, the evening performance of Trumpet in the Land will still be offered FREE for youth in grades 6-12, and at a discounted rate for everyone else. To receive your free and/or discounted ticket vouchers, look for Chris Johnson at the Trumpet Amphitheater Box Office between 8:00 and 8:15 p.m. Saturday night. She'll have a clipboard in hand and will look forward to attending the show with you!

This Saturday, 

June 18, 

join us on a tour through 

Moravian History!

All young people in Grade 6-12 (including those who have just graduated from high school) are invited to meet up with the group at the entrance to 

Historic Schoenbrunn Village at 

2:00 p.m. We'll remain until closing time at 5:00 p.m.

We'll travel on foot to

Schoenbrunn Community Moravian Church 

where we'll have dinner together followed by a session on our early roots in Europe. Ministry Intern Joe Compton will introduce us to Prague, Chalice Rocks, Herrnhut and other significant sites he visited during last summer's Moravian Youth Convo. 

And finally, we'll travel up the hill to attend the evening performance of 

Trumpet in the Land.
The drama begins at 
8:30 p.m.

All admission costs for the youth will be covered by the Ohio Moravian Ministries Commission (OMMC). Participants may wish to bring their own money for snacks or gift shop purchases.

Please reserve your spot by notifying your pastor or Pastor Chris Johnson (484-894-9077) no later than noon on Friday, June 17. We must know who is coming in order to make transportation and dining arrangements!

BUT WAIT! What if you would like to attend the performance of Trumpet in the Land, but you’re not in the targeted age bracket? Please join us at a discounted rate! Meet us at the Trumpet amphitheater between 8:00 and 8:15 p.m. to get a voucher that allows you to purchase $10 tickets (regularly $20).

Christmas Eve Comes Early at Historic Schoenbrunn Village

Gather at Historic Schoenbrunn Village in New Philadelphia on Sunday afternoon, December 6, for a traditional, Moravian-style candlelight Lovefeast. Come to the rustic church for this public event beginning at 2:00 p.m. 

With trimmed beeswax candles, Christmas carols, the Nativity Story, hot chocolate and a sweet treat, the service will be a glimpse into the way Moravian Christians have celebrated the Savior's birth since the mid-18th century.

Be sure to dress for the weather as the church building is heated only by the warmth of a wood fire. 

Confirmation class students from area Moravian Churches will serve the candle and Lovefeast. They should arrive no later than 1:30 p.m. to make preparations.
