Welcome to First Moravian Church of Georgia

We invite you join us as we worship, serve and celebrate
our risen Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Christmas Eve Lovefeasts

John 1:5

“That light shines in the darkness, yet the darkness did not overcome it”

You are invited to join us for a traditional Moravian Lovefeast on Christmas Eve. Patterned after the traditional agape meal, the Lovefeast is a simple shared meal (coffee and buns), signifying our unity in Christ and equality before God. It is not a sacrament, and everyone is welcome to join us.

Hymns are sung as the meal is served by the dieners (from the German for servers) and partaken of by the congregation. On Christmas Eve, after the meal, the dieners pass out traditional beeswax candles trimmed in red, signifying the Light of God coming into the World and the eventual sacrifice to be made. The light grows though the sanctuary as each person lights their candle, and the final Hymn is sung as everyone raises their candle in the air to welcome the newborn Christ.

Services will be on Saturday December 24 at:

11:00 A special children’s Lovefeast with hot chocolate and children’s hymns.

4:00 Lovefeast and Candlelight service.

7:00 Lovefeast and Candlelight service.
