New Way of Being Advent Series,
“Come, Let Us Walk in the Way of Faith, Hope, and Love.”
Wednesdays, December 3, 10 and 17, 7:30 p.m. Eastern Time
The MCNP Racial Justice Team and the MCSP Moravian Team for Reconciliation (Racial, Cultural and Ethnic) are pleased to announce that they are jointly sponsoring this year’s New Way of Being Advent Series, “Come, Let Us Walk in the Way of Faith, Hope, and Love.” How do we know “God still goes that road with us?” How do we walk with those seeking safety, refuge, and a new life? The series will provide suggestions for ways congregations and individuals may walk with our immigrant neighbors. All sessions will be offered on Zoom on Wednesdays, December 3, 10, and 17, at 7:30 PM ET. Zoom access is below.
Each session will include scripture readings, prayer, and a presentation by a guest presenter or presenters, followed by small group discussions. Each session will be one hour, concluding at 8:30 PM ET. We are delighted to announce our guest presenters.
- The Rev. Angelica Regalado-Cieza, Pastor at Fries Memorial Moravian Church in Winston-Salem, NC will be our guest presenter on December 3. Rev. Regalado-Cieza will lead us in a vital conversation on immigration in our church and communities, especially as we prepare our hearts during Advent — a season that reminds us of God’s welcome and the holy movement of people seeking home.
- On December 10, The Rev. Mikayla Sauerbrey, pastor of Calvary Moravian Church in Allentown, PA and Marcus Dip Silas of Mending Together will be our guest presenters for the session on December 10. Calvary Moravian began a new ministry assisting a refugee family in March of 2025; and Mending Together, a Minnesota-based non-profit supporting those who have experienced trauma and working for recovery and renewal by removing fear. They teach refugees and those who walk alongside them how to build a world where everyday people and refugees mend together.
- The Rev. Ben Lippert, pastor of the Schoenbrunn Moravian Congregation in New Philadelphia, Ohio, will be the guest presenter for the session on December 17. Rev. Lippert will share from his experience building community organizations and networks to assist and support our immigrant friends and neighbors.
We hope you will join us for the New Way of Being series this Advent.
