As we approach the close of another year, we find ourselves reflecting on the many ways we’ve been blessed and the ways we can extend those blessings to others. In our work at the Board of World Mission, we are consistently reminded of a profound truth: when we serve those in need, we serve Christ Himself. This year, we have created an Advent calendar to encourage Moravians throughout the U.S. and Canada to allow their blessings to be a blessing to those in need.
Follow along with the calendar by downloading the printable version (click here) or have the daily prompts sent through email or text. Follow the Board of World Mission on Facebook and Instagram for daily updates there, too!

2024 Advent Candle Lighting Liturgies
We are also excited to share a special resource – a four-week liturgy for use in lighting the Advent wreath candles. This resource was created as a collaboration between the Board of World Mission, the Moravian Ministries Foundation, and the Southern Province Commission on Congregational Development (with many thanks to the Interprovincial Board of Communications for their assistance in promoting it!). This partnership between Moravian agencies reflects our shared commitment to supporting and strengthening the Moravian Church through collective action, showing that we are stronger when we serve and worship together.
