LOVE FEAST SERVICE

Join us for the Love Feast Service on Sunday December 17th at 7:00PM

History of the Love Feast Service:
Just as early Christians broke bread together in token of their fellowship and love, the Moravian Church has a custom of celebrating certain occasions of deep spiritual significance by partaking together of a simple meal known as a “lovefeast.” The Christmas Eve Lovefeast, with its lighted candles, originated in Germany in 1747 as a children’s service. It soon became meaningful to the entire church family and spread to Moravian congregations throughout the world. In North Carolina, the first Christmas Eve Lovefeasts were held at Bethabara in 1753 and in Salem in 1771. The practice has since spread to other churches and denominations.
