Children’s Sunday School will be held twice a month during the 10 AM Worship service. The children will start in the Sanctuary and then be dismissed to the Sunday School room where they will enjoy a Sunday School lesson, crafts, music, and treats.

Sunday School will be held on the following dates:

March 22, April 12 & 26, and May 3 & 17

We hope that you will mark your calendars and bring your children, grandchildren, and their friends to share in the fun.

If you are interested in helping with Sunday School, please contact Alan Bosch.

On Sunday, March 22 at 4:00 PM, College Hill will resound with the glorious sound of organ and voices when we welcome the Lehigh Valley Chapter of the American Guild of Organists to our Sanctuary. An interactive meeting, we will be led through a Singstunde of hymns and service music, focusing on music for Holy Week and — in honor of Women Composers Month — comprised solely of texts and/or music by women composers. The meeting is free and open to the public. Come, join us for a fun and educational afternoon of singing and fellowship.

The end of March brings the beginning of Holy Week, the meaningful though solemn observance of Jesus’ last days on earth. Making the pilgrimage from Palm Sunday through Good Friday is a beautiful act of devotion that sets the stage for a glorious Easter celebration. Consider participating in any or all of the services offered throughout the week.

Palm Sunday

Sunday, March 29 at 10:00 AM

Sing “The Hosanna!” Wave a palm blade! Listen to the lovely sounds of the handbell and vocal choirs. And in the midst of celebrating Jesus’ arrival in Jerusalem, recognize that he is boldly challenging the system and letting loose the dramatic events to follow.

Readings for Holy Week

Monday, March 30, Tuesday, March 31,

Wednesday, April 1 at 1:00 PM

Making use of the traditional Moravian book, Readings for Holy Week, we’ll gather informally in a circle and read through the scriptural account containing Jesus’ teachings and the events of Holy Week. Come for one, two, or all three sessions. Volunteer your voice to the telling of the story or simply follow along and listen.

PLEASE NOTE the time change from previous years; also, be ready to greet fellow worshippers from West Side and Central Moravian churches!

Maundy Thursday

Thursday, April 2 at 7:00 PM

Worship and Holy Communion

We remember the loving way Jesus first gathered his people around him in an Upper Room and shared in the tender act of serving The Lord’s Supper on a consequential evening. As Jesus’ contemporary disciples, we too will spend sacred time at The Table communing with Jesus and with one another.

Good Friday

Friday, April 3 at 7:00 PM

Sundown & Shadows Worship

Good Friday is the darkest day of the Church Year—the day on which Jesus was executed. In worship, we will recreate the experience of losing The Light of the World.

Sunday, April 5

Easter Dawn Service

6:00 AM in the Central Moravian Church Sanctuary and continuing at God’s Acre

Greet the sunrise and remember the Sonrise! Since 1732, Moravian Christians have begun Easter Morning with a visit to a cemetery—God’s Acre. In Bethlehem, the tradition dates back to 1743. Worshiping with friend-travelers from other Bethlehem area Moravian Churches and accompanied by the Bethlehem Trombone Choir makes for a touching remembrance of the very first Easter morning. 

Celebration Worship

10:00 AM in the College Hill Moravian Church Sanctuary

Smile! Sing! Worship! And when the minister proclaims, “The Lord is risen,” be ready with your joyful response: “The Lord is risen indeed!” If Good Friday is the darkest day of the Church Year, Easter is the brightest. Hope comes alive on Easter. Join us!

Because of your generosity, we have already reached the goal of needed granola bars! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Since William Penn doesn’t have a lot of storage space, we cannot collect anymore bars.

We will be labeling them with messages of encouragement and support during Fellowship Hour on April 12, and hope you will be able to help with this activity.

We are continuing to collect school supplies for William Penn. All items can be placed on the COT table in Fellowship Hall or placed in the bins under the table. 

As the winter months are here, William Penn is specifically asking for gloves and hats, tissues, hand sanitizer, and Lysol wipes.

Thank you for so many donated items this holiday season! Our gracious neighbors have helped fill our shelves for early 

winter. 

Looking ahead, the West Bethlehem Emergency Food Pantry at Star of Bethlehem Lutheran would love to have more:

    • Cereal/oatmeal/pancake mix/

       granola bars

    • Rice

    • Peanut butter

    • Shelf-stable milk

    • Jelly

    • Coffee/tea/hot chocolate

    • Canned vegetables

    • Personal care items

    • Toilet paper/paper towels

WBEFP served 117 households (comprised of a total of 439 children, adults, and seniors) in November 2025. Thirty-eight (38) new families signed up to receive food. Thanks for your support!

The Pantry also accepts items that are past the “expired” or “best by” date. Please place your donations on the COT table or in the grocery cart in Fellowship Hall. Any and all donations are greatly appreciated!

If you are available on Saturday, April 12 starting at 8 AM, consider joining us in making sandwiches and packing lunches to take to the Bethlehem Emergency Shelter. 

This will be happening in Fellowship Hall and the kitchen, and all are welcome! If you have any questions, please talk to any COT member. Thank you!

College Hill will be holding our Spring Craft & Vendor Show on Saturday, April 25, 2026 from 9:00 AM–2:00 PM. We will be offering indoor and outdoor spots for crafters. We will also be serving food and having a bake sale.

HOW CAN YOU HELP???

Are you interested in being a crafter or vendor? Applications are on the black table in Fellowship Hall or can be emailed to you.

We are looking for volunteers for Friday, April 24 to help prepare and set up. As well as Saturday, April 25, to help in the kitchen, monitor the bake sale and be a floater to assist the crafters throughout the day.

We are also looking for homemade baked goods to be sold at the bake sale table.

If interested in volunteering or making a baked good, please add your name to the corresponding signup sheet on the black table in Fellowship Hall.

All proceeds from the Craft Show will go towards the general operating fund.
