Cooking Up a Recipe Collection

The Putz Committee of Sharon Moravian Church is selling cookbooks!  The recipes are from members of the Sharon Congregation and it looks like it is going to be a nice collection from some great cooks!  Please reserve your copy today. Call 740-922-5507

Sidewalk Stars

An enduring custom, The Moravian Star is a beautiful symbol we can hardly get enough of. Representing the light of Christ's love, The Star is a simple expression of faith. While electrified versions of this lovely symbol are usually lit from Advent through Epiphany, here's a new, creative way to put The Star on display year round.

As a fundraising project, young adults from the Dover congregation will come to your home and stencil this unique design on your sidewalk or driveway. You may choose to have your Moravian Star painted in blue or white (or one of each!) Pay just $10 for one, or $15 for two. 

Funds raised through this project will be used toward travel expenses for folks participating in the Moravian Young Adult Convo to be held this summer in Herrnhut, Germany and Prague, Czech Republic (both locations being significant in the history and heritage of The Moravian Church).

To place your order, call 330-364-8831 or email pastor@firstmoravianchurch.org.

Painting is scheduled for June 6th and June 13th, so place your orders soon!

There's No Excuse to Miss Out on Good Eating Tomorrow

On Saturday, May 9, you'll have not just 1 but 2 opportunities to eat a delicious chicken BBQ meal while supporting the ministry causes of 2 terrific congregations! 

Visit the Gnadenhutten Moravian Church from 3-6 p.m., 

or the Fry's Valley Moravian Church from 4-7 p.m. 

and enjoy a freshly prepared meal with scrumptious sides and homemade desserts.

                                         

What's that? You don't want to play favorites and choose between the two? You don't have to! If you place one or both of your orders "to go," you can take home that fabulous grilled chicken and keep it in your refrigerator or freezer for another day.
