Special Events

Our Fellowship Committee organized a bus trip to Bethlehem, PA on December 8, 2007 to enjoy the Christmas lights and decorations of that city and learn about the German (Pennsylvania Dutch) heritage of that area. The first stop was a visit to the "Putz" at the Edgeboro Moravian Church. The term, putz, comes from a German word, putzen, meaning "to decorate." There we enjoyed a presentation of the Story of the Nativity involving miniature scenes, lights and narration, followed by a tour of the church and a shopping opportunity in their parish hall for locally made craft items . We also learned about the background of the Moravian Church which had its pre-Reformation origins in central Europe in the 15^th century. 

Following the church visit, we arrived at the Bethlehem Hotel where we enjoyed a wonderful buffet meal. Free time was provided for shopping in the many shops featuring Christmas items near the hotel. At twilight, the bus, with a local guide dressed in Moravian attire, took us on a tour of the city and explained the many traditions, history and sites of the area.. 

Over 50 members and friends of our church participated in this event. See photos

Spring Concert

An afternoon of fun & music was held at the church on Sunday, May 6, 2007, featuring Fred Davies & George Wesner from Radio City Music Hall who entertained on our new church piano and pipe organ. They were accompanied by Daniel Haskins, percussionist. This was a return visit to our church by the two organists who also were guest artists at our 150th Anniversary Celebration in 2005. Arrangements for this event were the cooperative efforts of the Fellowship & Worship Committees.  See photos
