for Worship
SUNDAY MORNINGS at 10:00 AM
IN THE SANCTUARY OR VIA LIVESTREAM
To worship is to shower attention on God! It is to carve out time to be with God,
and in the company of others, give thanks and praise, often with singing!
It is to listen for what God would have us know through scripture, reflection, and prayer.
It is an expression of LOVE for God which grows from God’s LOVE for us.
Upcoming Events
CHRISTMAS IN JULY
Did someone say Christmas? In July? They sure did! The Community Outreach Ministry Team would like to invite you to our Christmas in July celebration on Sunday, July 26! (Please note that this date has changed!) At this service, we will be celebrating Christmas by blessing the donations we collected for our community school, William Penn Elementary.
Check out the bulletin board above the COT table in Fellowship Hall for suggested items. There you will also find slips of paper with needed items listed. Please bring the UNWRAPPED items to church and place them in one of the
Christmas boxes on the table. To get you started, here is a partial list of requested items: glue sticks, sharpies, colored
pencils, crayons, #2 pencils, construction paper, sidewalk chalk, jump ropes, playground balls, hand sanitizer, tissues, and Clorox wipes.
Mark your calendars now for July 26! Hope to see you there!
BLANKETS & BEANIES FOR TEENIES
Calling all knitters, crocheters, quilters, and sewers!
How it works: Make blankets and beanies for our smallest citizens.
On the fourth Saturday of the month (beginning in June), bring them to the parking lot of College Hill Moravian Church between 2 PM and 4 PM.

JULY PERFORMANCES OF PSALM OF JOY
If you weren’t able to catch the Unitas Chorale and Bach Choir joint performance of Johann F. Peter’s Psalm of Joy as part of this year’s Bach Festival, no worries! There are three more opportunities to experience this historic piece of Moravian music, compiled in 1783 to celebrate the end of the American Revolution, performed at the first Independence Day celebration, and performed this year as part of the 250th Anniversary.
On Saturday, July 11, as part of Easton Heritage Day, you will have two opportunities to hear the performance of
this piece: following the reading of the Declaration of Independence in Centre Square, make your way to Trinity
Episcopal Church (234 Spring Garden Street, Easton) for not one, but TWO performances of Psalm of Joy at 1:00 PM and 2:00 PM!
On Tuesday, July 14, you can also catch a joint performance of Psalm of Joy as part of Bach@Noon at St. John’s Lutheran Church (37 South 5th Street, Allentown) at 12:10 PM.
We hope you will be able to witness these performances of this distinctly Moravian work!

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.
Besides school supplies, the following items have also been requested: outside toys (jump ropes, sidewalk chalk, kickballs, footballs, etc.), tissues, hand sanitizer, and Lysol wipes. Thank you for your generosity in supporting our community school.
Be curious! Engage your heart, soul, and mind in exploring faith matters. Discover what is amazing about Jesus Christ! Deepen your understanding to uncover insight, purpose, and joy.
Be generous! In kindness and compassion, in expertise and skills, in time and effort, in wisdom and resources, offer your best self wholeheartedly.
Be vibrant! On the best days and on the challenging ones, too, life is a gift.
And love enriches it. Let the love of Jesus Christ enliven you on all days in obvious ways.
