Worship with us at East Hills Moravian Church

The principle characteristic of Moravian worship is that it is centered on Jesus.  The primary object of each worship experience is to connect the heart of the believer with the Savior.”   
(Kevin C. Frack, The Foundation of our Faith)

At East Hills Moravian Church, we gather regularly as people of faith to worship.  We have opportunities to gather both in person and online every week. Our worship includes among other things, the reading of scripture, praying liturgies, a message of hope, and a variety of music, both traditional and contemporary. Our worship also includes people, and when you participate in worship with East Hills, you will sense the love we have for Jesus and for one another.

Worship Times

Regular: 10:30-11:30 AM / Summer: 9:30-10:30 AM

Sacraments

The Moravian Church recognizes two Sacraments: Holy Communion and Baptism. Services of Holy Communion are shared periodically throughout the year. “In the celebration of this Sacrament we receive the renewed assurance of the forgiveness of our sins and of our fellowship with Christ; are united with one another as members of His Church; and rejoice in the hope of His return in glory.” (Moravian Covenant for Christian Living) We practice an “open table” which means anyone who believes in Jesus as their Lord and Savior may partake. Baptisms are held within the context of worship, when the entire congregation accepts the obligation to love and nurture the one baptized as they become part of our community of faith. Baptisms are scheduled upon request and approved by our Board of Elders.

Lovefeast

On special occasions throughout the year, we share in a simple meal during worship called “Lovefeast”. The Lovefeast at East Hills is often a piece of sugar cake and chocolate milk, but the kind of food shared isn’t what matters. It is the spirit of unity in Christ and our Christian love for one another that makes the Moravian Lovefeast special.

Advent and Christmas

The Season of Advent begins 4 Sundays before Christmas and is a season of preparation as we celebrate the Nativity of Jesus Christ at Christmas.

Lent and Easter

The goal of the Lenten Season, the six weeks before Easter, is to enrich the spirit and draw closer to Jesus Christ through the lessons imparted by His suffering and Resurrection.
