The worship on Easter Sunday was special indeed. Children of the congregation traveled from great distances, from Charleston, S.C., and Matthews, N.C., and Roanoak, Va., and Greenville, N.C., etc., just to be near their roots, and to remember those who have been “promoted into the higher service,” whom they still love. We had just under 900 in attendance, including almost 200 people in the overflow area in the New Fellowship Hall; and the Rev. John G. Rights who was celebrating his 40th birthday. We wish to thank all those volunteers who made the day so special: the Choirs, the Bells of Joy, the Band, the Ushers, and especially the Sound Techs, who did yeoman duty both inside, and on the graveyard. The members and staff of New Philadlephia Moravian Church wish you a Happy Easter. Truly, we have been “born anew to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.” In a world sometimes fixated upon loss, grief, dying and death, he is the Word of Life. The Pastor
