Make a date to join us for worship on June 9 and

with us here at Friedland Moravian Church.

throughout the evening’s musical performances. Friedland Moravian Church is a proud member of the RCC that repre-sents the Southside of Winston-Salem and Northern David-

son County. Come out and have a great evening of music!

Mission Moments for June, 2013

Costa Rica: Praise God for his Faithful leading of our seven who are witnessing in

Costa Rica during the week of July 24th – July 31st. Pray that God’s work will be done

as they witness through music, work, play and as God leads them. May their work

and witness resound for years into the future and beyond our days. God is leading,

we will follow.

Mission Camp: June 30th – July 5th, twelve of our Youth will be attending Mission

Camp at Laurel Ridge. This is always a spiritual blessing for our Youth as they

witness to those who have less and then they go to the top of the mountain to

experience their own walk with God.

Missions (Homeland and Abroad):

Sunnyside Mud Run Sponsored by Members of Our Congregation and held at the

Reed Farm was a huge success. Watch for more fundraisers by the Moravian Gang.

The Shan Dai Believers have now come together as a congregation of believers

meeting in homes. This long sought fruit of the Woo’s Mission efforts happened for

the first time on May 17th. Praise God and continue to PRAY!

Did you know that there is a small medical mission effort in Oaxaca, Mexico? It is in

a mountainous region of Southern Mexico. Ask Jacqueline Poston and Mark Ebert

about it?

Michael Brent will be preaching for us on June 16. The following are excerpts from

his newsletter that comes to us from Zabreb, Croatia. They are titled: STAND FIRM

…We face an unseen spiritual force that longs to tear apart the family of God. Who

are we to stand against such a power? . . .

Who are we to stand firm against spiritual forces of evil? We are children of the King.

In Jesus, we have a new identity. In Jesus, we have an amazing inheritance. In Jesus,

we have access to inner spiritual strength. In Jesus, we are connected together as a

family. In Jesus, we are deeply loved and specially equipped (Ephesians 1-3).

Paul knows that listing out these truths will not bring about spiritual trans-formation.

He must pray (1:15-19; 3:14-21). Paul spent more time in Ephesus than in any other

city during his missionary journeys. He is not praying for new believers when he asks

for spiritual enlightenment. He is praying for believers who had received three years

of his own teaching and example. He is praying for believers who have heard the

truth and tried to live it.

We know the words, but experiencing the reality takes time and prayer. We need his

truth to seep down into the crevices of our heart. We need to own his words to us,

‘You are mine. You are valuable to me. I have sealed you with the spirit of promise. I

have made my home in your heart. I have made you to know love.’...

Adventurers must learn to TAKE A STAND. Satan will throw his fiery darts to tempt,

discourage, deceive and hurt. And we will STAND FIRM, side by side, shields raised,

swords ready, a glint in our eye, children of the king.

Thank You…

Dear Christian friends of Friedland,

How blessed I am to be a part of

such a wonderful body of believers.

Thank you so very much for the

great outpouring of love since my

latest fall. For all your prayers, visits,

and so many beautiful cards and

more. I thank you each and everyone

very sincerely. May God continue to

bless you all as you continue to serve

Him.

In Christian Love,

Gladys Edwards

Letter from: Board of World

Mission - - April 17, 2013

To: the Pastor David, Pastor Carol,

and the members at Friedland

On behalf of the Board of World

Mission I wish to send our apprecia-

tion to your congregation for hosting

dinner for our board and our partners

on Thursday, April 4th. We arrived

tired from travel and were greeted

with your gracious welcome and

delicious food. It was also wonderful

that our global partners could see

another of our churches and experi-

ence your hospitality, many here in

the US for the first time. Please

extend our thanks to all who were

involved in the necessary prepara-

tions.

Sincerely,

Judith M. Ganz, Executive Director

Moravian Church throughout the years. Make a Date for

this year’s outreach into North Carolina and Costa Rico.

Food Donations for Sunny Side Ministry is a constant challenge throughout the year. The summer months are no exception. Children who usually have school lunch

provided at little or no charge now have little resources at home. Bring a can a week throughout June and July and

place it in the sane pails in the vestibule of the church. Please remember as well to give the office any new

email addresses or physical addresses for members and young adults who are heading out to school this summer.

Also update the office with your new phone numbers, addresses for military families and friends, friends of the church and members who are living temporarily out of

state.
