Learn, Share, Live Christ's Love
This is our mission.
Join Us
for Worship
SUNDAY MORNINGS at 10:00 AM
IN THE SANCTUARY OR VIA LIVESTREAM
To worship is to shower attention on God! It is to carve out time to be with God,
and in the company of others, give thanks and praise, often with singing!
It is to listen for what God would have us know through scripture, reflection, and prayer.
It is an expression of LOVE for God which grows from God’s LOVE for us.

The Sanctuary will be resounding
with Special Music throughout this Advent and Christmas season. The Choir will sing; Bells will ring, and Instrumentalists will abound on Christmas Eve. We are also looking forward to hearing the Women of
our Choir participate in worship the Second Sunday in Advent. Come,
join us in preparing for the birth of
our Savior.

Christ, the Lord!
LABYRINTH WALKS FOR PRAYER AND MEDITATION
College Hill Moravian Church and the Lehigh Valley Labyrinth Project invite you to join us for labyrinth walks at the church, 72 West Laurel Street, Bethlehem, PA 18018.
The last walk for 2025 will be a pre–New Year’s walk at 3:00 PM on December 28.
In these times of uncertainty, it is beneficial to gather in community to be together for prayer and meditation. While walking the labyrinth is a very personal journey, it is a comfort to gather in community.
All are welcome. Peace to all as we gather. If you have any questions, please call the church office at 610-867-8291.

ITEMS REQUESTED BY WILLIAM PENN
The items we collected for William Penn Elementary were delivered and the following thank-you was received from our contact, Amanda:
“Our teachers are so excited and thankful for your donations! Thank you again to all our friends at College Hill, and we wish you a very Merry Christmas!”
We are continuing to collect supplies for William Penn students and teachers. As the winter months are here, William Penn is specifically asking for gloves and hats, tissues, hand sanitizer, and Lysol wipes. And since Valentine’s Day will be here before we know it, they would also like donations of boxed Valentine’s Cards.
All donations can be placed in the bins on (and under) the COT table in Fellowship Hall. Thank you!
