New Philadelphia Moravian Church is delighted to host Lovefeasts this year. We have options for people who are able to attend in person or folks may view through live streaming or watching the recording later.

In the spirit of love and care for one another we have outlined requirements to keep us all safe when attending the Lovefeasts that are in person and indoors.

Guidelines for Indoor/In person Lovefeasts (Registration CLOSED))

• Registration is required and available at this link Lovefeast Registration. We encourage people to register early. Those attending in person should plan to show their COVID vaccine card, if eligible for the vaccine; or present a negative COVID test taken within 72 hours, if unvaccinated or not eligible for the vaccine
• Masks are required inside the building.
• A nursery will be available with staff who will be masked and vaccinated.
• Since we are limiting numbers, we respectfully ask you choose one of the three services to attend in order to open up more spots for other members and for the community.
• Wrapped buns and disposable coffee cups will be distributed by Dieners. The baskets and coffee can be passed. People can use their own discretion to eat at the service or take it home.
• Lit candles will be used during the service.
• Doors open 30 minutes prior to the start of the service.

We will celebrate with hope, peace, joy and love the birth of our Saviour in many ways during this Advent and Christmas!

The Board of Elders of New Philadelphia Moravian Church

Twas the Sunday after Christmas

and all through the church,

the pastor was worried

and turned with a lurch;

he suddenly thought no one would attend

a Sunday morning service way before 10.

“Maybe if folks rest, it’ll feel like heaven;

they can sleep in a bit and get to church by 11.”

Sunday – December 26 – 11:00 a.m. Worship Service

Another Christmas Lovefeast opportunity!

Drive-in Lovefeast

Sunday, December 19 at 8:30 p.m.

Drive through the portico to pick up your bun, coffee, and candle; claim your parking spot, and join us outside for a Christmas Lovefeast ~ registration not required.

You’re welcome to bring a lawn chair and sit outside, weather permitting.

100* Lovefeast Boxes

If you are unable to attend a Lovefeast service in-person, you may pick up a Lovefeast Box and join us as we live-stream our 4:00 p.m. service on December 24.

Pick up is between 10 a.m. and noon on December 24 – *First come – first served.

Pick up at our covered drive/portico to the left of the sanctuary at the church office entrance. 

Join us this evening, Thursday, December 9 at 7:00 p.m. for Christmas Around the World. Festivities begin in the Banquet Room but who knows where we may end up!

The Gathering is a little something for everyone, so we will see you this evening!

What is it?  An alternative worship and fellowship experience.

When is it?  Every Thursday evening at 7:00 p.m.

Where is it?  It begins in the Banquet Room (near the Fellowship Hall) but it sometimes ends up… anywhere!

Who should attend?  Anyone! Everyone! (So far the ages of people attending has ranged from 5 to 91 and there has been something for all of them.)

Why should I come to the Gathering?  Because it’s a great opportunity to gather (as the name implies) for a more casual, contemporary and creative time of worship and fellowship (and you never know when there might be refreshments!).
