Many thanks for everyone’s help with the annual Square Dance for Sunnyside Ministry on Sunday, November 22! We hosted over 130 youth from a variety of Moravian churches, and we collected over 500 cans of food to help with hunger relief during the holidays. We’re grateful to New Philadelphia’s youth and adults, who set up for the event, gathered donations, served refreshments, and cleaned up afterwards. Thank you!

Twelve of New Philadelphia’s youth participated in a Local Mission Camp during the week of August 10-14! They gathered with other Moravian groups for devotions, lunch, and programs each day, and served at a variety of local outreach agencies to help our neighbors in need. Agencies included Samaritan Ministries, Habitat for Humanity, Hospice, Second Harvest Food Bank, Crisis Control, Shepherd’s Center, and Sunnyside Ministry.

Convo 2009

Convo was an amazing experience! More than 100 Moravian youth from across North America gathered in Northfield, Minnesota, from July 5-11 for a week of fellowship, worship, and outreach. The program was was based upon the Moravian directive, “Our Lamb has conquered, let us follow Him.” The group enjoyed a wonderful dinner & concert at Main Street Moravian Church on Tuesday night, and on Wednesday they visited the Mall of America and attended a Twins baseball game. On Thursday, the group assisted with several outreach projects in the community. Many thanks to New Philadelphia for your prayers, encouragement, and support!
