On the Topic of Full Communion with the Episcopal Church
At the Olivet Moravian Church's 2008 Church Council meeting, our Council asked our Joint Board to study the issue of Full Communion with the Episcopal Church and make a report at the next Church Council meeting. The following link will show you their report:
Olivet offers a traditional Moravian style service on Sunday Morning at 11:00 AM. Using hymns and liturgies from the Moravian Book of Worship the worshiper is led to a point when the children have a special time with the pastor and then a Gospel Sermon is preached by the Pastor or the Pastoral Assistant.
Communion is offered some eight times during the year, and all professing Christians are welcome to participate.
