And you’ll notice new round disks with blue lights installed on the ceilings throughout the building. This marks the completion of our new WiFi system — coverage is now available everywhere inside. To connect, simply scan the 

QR code posted near each room’s entrance. Please note that the old WiFi system was turned off on August 1st.

Coffee and Conversation is moving to lunch time!

We will meet on the third Tuesday of every month for lunch and conversation. This will begin on September 15th at 12 Noon in Room 4. Due to many dietary restrictions, we ask that everyone bring their own bagged lunch and beverage of 

choice. Topics will vary from month to month, and all are welcome to attend. Please join us as we catch up and spend time learning and growing together.

Our Christmas in July celebration may be over, but we continue to collect school supplies for William Penn. All items can be placed on the COT table in Fellowship Hall or placed in the bins under the table.

Besides school supplies, the following items have also been requested: outside toys (jump ropes, sidewalk chalk, 

kickballs, footballs, etc.), tissues, hand sanitizer, and Lysol wipes. Thank you for your generosity in supporting our community school.

Thank you for so many donated items! Our gracious neighbors have helped fill our shelves. Looking ahead, the West Bethlehem Emergency Food Pantry at Star of Bethlehem Lutheran would love to have more:

    • Cereal/oatmeal/pancake mix/granola bars

    • Shelf-stable milk

    • Jelly

    • Coffee/tea/powdered drink mixes

    • Juice

    • Canned tomato products: sauce/diced/crushed/paste

    • Canned baked beans

    • Canned kidney beans

    • Canned corn

    • Personal care items

    • Toilet paper/paper towels

The Pantry also accepts items that are past the “expired” or “best by” date. Please place your donations on the COT table or in the grocery cart in Fellowship Hall. Any and all donations are greatly appreciated!

This year, we are once again organizing a presence at Lehigh Valley Pride, which will be on August 30 from 1 PM – 7 PM at ArtsQuest in Bethlehem, PA, with a clear and joyful mission: “To share the message that ‘no matter who you love or how you identify, you are embraced and affirmed by God’s expansive love’ with Lehigh Valley Pride attendees through celebration, service, and affirmation.”

NOTE: College Hill will be participating in Pride 2026 with other Moravian congregations, so we will need volunteers who can walk around and pass out water to the attendees.

We are also seeking volunteers (especially clergy and lay pastors) to offer glitter blessings at our booth throughout the day. 

Volunteer signups for both lay folks and clergy: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0B45ABAB29A1FAC25-64704102-lvpride

This year, Bradbury Sullivan has introduced an entry fee for the event: 12 and under are free, 13–17 is $3, and 18+ is $5, but the fee is waived with the donation of toiletries for New Bethany Ministries.

Calling all knitters, crocheters, quilters, and sewers!

How it works: Make blankets and beanies for our smallest citizens. 

On the fourth Saturday of the month (beginning in June), bring them to the parking lot of College Hill Moravian Church between 2 PM and 4 PM. 

All blankets and hats will be divided before being taken to hospitals in the Lehigh Valley area (LVHN and St. Luke’s locations).
