Youth

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!

Our group had a wonderful week at Mission Camp! Twenty-nine members from New Philadelphia gave of their time and talents at Mission Camp at Laurel Ridge, along with groups from Hope, Fries, Covenant, and Raleigh Moravian Church.

Four New Philadelphia work teams stayed busy with projects in the Alleghany & Ashe County areas. Work projects included painting a deck, repairing a roof, painting and remodeling a bedroom, installing a ceiling fan, painting a tin roof and a porch, clearing a stream bed, hauling brush, installing playground equipment, and laying astroturf. Many thanks to New Philadelphia for your support and prayers!

Here are some pictures from the week:
