Join us following worship on Sunday, April 28th, in OFH (12:15-1:15pm) for "Lunch & Learn: Being Bohemian... A Young Adult CONVO Retrospective" with Henry Cook.
Henry, a 2023 graduate of Grimsley High School, recently participated in Young Adult CONVO, an every-four-years worldwide gathering of Moravian young people (ages 18-25). This year's group of CONVO delegates made a pilgrimage to the Czech Republic and Germany to visit Moravian historical sites of spiritual significance.
Come enjoy lunch prepared and served by our Youth Fellowship (baked spaghetti, salad, garlic toast, drinks, and desserts) as Henry shares slides and stories from his experience. The cost is free; donations are encouraged to help replenish our CONVO fund for 2027 participants! Please RSVP here by April 21st so that have an accurate headcount for lunch.

Celebrating Mother's Day: Sunday, May 12th
Mother's Day is Sunday, May 12th! In recognition, we will order carnations in honor of or in memory of mothers and list dedications in a bulletin insert.
If you would like to order one or more carnations, please complete this online form by Sunday, May 5th. We must place our order with the florist early in the week. You may also call the office with your order.
A red carnation indicates in honor of a living mother, while a white carnation signifies in memory of a deceased mother. The cost is $1.25 per carnation.
Floral pins will be available if you would like to wear your carnation during worship. You may take your carnation(s) home with you after the service. They will be arranged in a vase in the narthex with a basket nearby for payment (cash or check made out to First Moravian Church, “carnation” in the memo line). Alternatively, you may send your payment to the office in care of Gay Cass, Treasurer.
