Moravian Love Feast
Candlelight Christmas Service, Sunday, December 7, at 5:00 p.m.
This year, an annual Advent tradition returns to St. Peter's: a Moravian Love Feast.
Join us on Sunday, December 7, at 5:00 pm, for this special service. There will be music from a brass quintet, singing of Christmas carols, sharing of special rolls and coffee, and lighting of candles.
The modern history of the Love Feast began when the Moravians in Germany introduced a service of sharing food, prayer, religious conversation, and hymns in 1727. John Wesley first experienced it among the Moravians in Savannah, Georgia, ten years later. His diary notes: "After evening prayers, we joined with the Germans in one of their love–feasts. It was begun and ended with thanksgiving and prayer, and celebrated in so decent and solemn a manner as a Christian of the apostolic age would have allowed to be worthy of Christ."
St. Peter's Moravian Love Feast will be a wonderful way to start your Advent season. Please join us!
