The Unity Prayer Watch

 December 21

  Prayer is an important part of the life and history of our Moravian Church. It comes from the belief that there is power in prayer. There was a time when the church observed what was known as "the Hourly Intercessions." For a period of 100 years there was a Moravian somewhere in the world engaged in prayer. This practice was renewed and once again there is someone praying for concerns of the world, the Christian Church, our Moravian Church, our congregations, our clergy, and for all other concerns that are shared. To meet this challenge, every day of the year is assigned to a single congregation, or to a group of congregations, who then invite their members to pray during their assigned hours.

   This year, the assigned day for the Staten Island Moravian Churches is Wednesday, December 21.
A sign up sheet is located near the Fellowship Hour Table in the Conference Room. Topics for prayer
can be picked up at the church. They will also be posted as a pdf file on this website.
    Please know that you don't have to come to the church to pray. You also do not have to sign up to
pray. Nor do you have to restrict your prayers to the designated hours. We are reminded in the Scriptures that we are invited to pray "at all times, for all things." So as we share the concerns of our hearts, may the Lord truly, hear our prayer.

Christmas Eve

 Candlelight Services

Saturday, December24  -  4:00 PM & 8:00 PM

The Moravian Christmas Eve Candlelight Service is one of our oldest and inspiring traditions. The beeswax candles trimmed with red frill tell a story of a Holy Child who was born to bring  light and salvation to our world. We have two Candlelight Services on Christmas Eve.

             

The service at 4:00PM is designed with families with children in mind.

The service at 8:00PM is a more traditional vespers service.

Both include special music.

 

                                     Join us on this Holy Evening to welcome the Savior, who is Christ the Lord!
