Many thanks for everyone’s help with the annual Square Dance for Sunnyside Ministry on Sunday, November 23! We hosted over 200 youth at the square dance, and we collected a huge amount 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!

There always seems to be plenty of food around this church enriching our fellowship. Both the David Jones Class and the Advent Class recently held class meetings—with food. The Youth Fellowship Kick-Off featured hamburgers, hotdogs and a variety of great salads.

Update. We’re all home, we’re all safe, and we’re all exhausted from an amazing
trip! Our group brings greetings to New Philadelphia from the Moravian Church in Nicaragua, after our nine-day mission trip. Again, many thanks to New Philadelphia for your prayers and encouragement.

Our group had a wonderful week at Mission Camp, June 29-July 4! Twenty-seven youth and eleven adults spent the week serving with our neighbors in Ashe and Alleghany counties, while staying at Laurel Ridge Moravian Camp. We had five work teams assigned to various projects in the area. We extend our thanks to everyone who participated, and to the congregation for your tremendous support! Here are some pictures from the week:
