Scripture

Matthew 18:1-6 (NKJV)

1 At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” 2 Then Jesus called a little child to Him, set him in the midst of them, 3 and said, “Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. 4 Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 5 Whoever receives one little child like this in My name receives Me. 6 “Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

Matthew 19:13-15 (NKJV)

13 Then little children were brought to Him that He might put His hands on them and pray, but the disciples rebuked them. 14 But Jesus said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven.” 15 And He laid His hands on them and departed from there.

LOOSE CHANGE OFFERING – Every 5th Sunday has been designated by the Leadership Board of Christ Moravian Church as a “loose change” offering for a special cause in our community and world. In 2018, the recipient for our loose change offering will be Anthony’s Plot.

Welcome to Christ Moravian Church! Located in the historic West Salem neighborhood of Winston-Salem, North Carolina, we are happy you have decided to join us for worship on Sunday morning. You may learn about our congregation through contacting our church office (722-2007) or exploring our website at www.christmoravianchurch.org. Our mission statement is the following:

“Christ Church seeks to be a caring congregation, worshipping God and encouraging one another, as we serve outside the walls of our congregation in the name and spirit of Jesus Christ.”

We hope you will make plans to visit us again soon where visitors are always welcomed! Together we can strive to follow our motto: “Loving to Serve-Serving to Love!”

COFFEE AND CONVERSATION – On May 20th during the Sunday school hour (10 AM), Pastor Marcus has extended an invitation to all post high school and young adults to join him in the Fellowship Building for a “Coffee and Conversation” time. We will have coffee, juice and refreshments available. Our hope is that this informal gathering and conversation might lead to a regular gathering of some nature that would include both fellowship and study. We hope you will make plans to join Pastor Marcus!
