NOVEMBER 2014
From The Church Board:
Endings and Beginnings We are about to embark on a very special time for our church as we welcome our new pastor, Aaron Linville. This is an exciting time in the life of our congregation and we are all looking forward to beginning a new chapter at Rural Hall Moravian Church with Aaron and his wife Amy. But with beginnings, we often have endings which can bring about feelings of sadness. We are saying farewell to our interim pastor, Jim Newsom, who we have come to love and appreciate. But rather than being sad, I would encourage all of us to reflect on why we have come to love him. Remember those wonderful Ash Wednesday and Holy Week services he brought to us, remember the thought provoking and uplifting sermons he delivered, remember the kindness he showed to those in need, and especially remember those children's sermons! Yes, we will miss Pastor Jim, but the memories of what he brought to us and the relationship we developed with him will stay with us and outweigh any sadness we may feel. And no doubt our paths will cross again. As we welcome Aaron and Amy, let's do so with open hearts and minds and provide them the loving support they deserve as they become acclimated to our church and our community. Endings and beginnings – both can be exciting and meaningful.
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. 2 Corinthians 5:17

Our Circle Leaders are: Circle 1: Judy Tayloe (336-642-4313), Circle 2: Sue Ashburn (336-969-4124) and Circle 3: Billie Williams (336-969-5444). Please contact any of these leaders to learn more about the circles and times held.
I invite all the ladies of the church to come to our meeting in November where we will be doing the candle trimming for our upcoming Christmas Lovefeasts. Note that the time of the meeting will be 3:00 PM on Sunday, November 16 (this change was voted on in our last meeting). Please bring an appetizer of your choice to share with each other and an unwrapped toy for the Gift Market.

Angel Breakfast Rural Hall Moravian Church
Saturday, December 13 8:30-10:30 AM
What is the Angel Breakfast you ask? It’s a time to slow down during the craziness of the Holiday Season and enjoy breakfast with children as they learn about the true meaning of Christmas from an angel’s perspective.
How does it work? Children from ages 3 up through the 5th grade will come with one adult to RHMC for an angel craft, Christmas Carols and breakfast. And, since it’s BREAKFAST, children are encouraged to come in their pajamas!
Does it cost anything? Not at all! The Angel Breakfast is an outreach event that is provided by RHMC and sponsored by the Christian Education Committee. While there is no charge, we do ask that participants bring canned food for Crisis Control. We want children (and adults) to realize that this is the season of GIVING.
RESERVATIONS ARE REQUIRED!

Newsletter Notes From around the Southern Province
Salem Congregation will sponsor a Habitat for Humanity house next spring. It will be constructed in the Kimberly Park neighborhood in memory of Cedric Rodney, who served for many years as pastor of St. Philips and as chaplain at Winston-Salem State University. Cost of the Habitat house project will be about $65,000. Olivet has purchased a new Allen organ for its sanctuary, which should make a lovely addition to worship services. The cost of the organ is $65,000, which is being paid by generous donations and good old-fashion fundraisings. Mayodan’s Elders are considering starting a social committee to get people in the church together to socialize or do various activities together. It would be for all ages to come together and get to know each other better.

The liturgy is most often used on the Sunday closest to November 1, All Saints Day and July 6, commemorating the martyrdom of John Hus. This month’s question: Name Zinzendorf’s daughter who was present at the naming of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Answer next month.
