Join Us For Worship!
We hope you will be inspired by what you see here to join us for worship.
Our worship services are on Sundays at 8:00 am and 10:30 am,
with Sunday School for children, youth, and adults at 9:15 am.
We encourage you to join us in person for worship in our beautiful sanctuary. Congregational worship is our shared opportunity for spiritual growth and faithful fellowship. When we worship together, a special bond is formed between us that comes from feeling Jesus Christ’s presence among us. Come add your voice, your spirit, and your smile — we can’t wait to worship with you!
We live-stream our 10:30 am worship service on YouTube for those who can’t join us in person. Please click here to view the most recent live-stream, or to see videos of past worship services.
For your convenience, our sanctuary is air-conditioned and universally accessible.
Please click here for more information about our worship services.
We can’t wait to see you in church!
The Lenten Season
What Is Lent?
Lent is a season of preparation and self-examination that reflects on our need for reconciliation with God and our neighbor.
We spend time together in shared meals, in programs that help us grow, and in worship that helps us find meaning in the story of Jesus’ last week in Jerusalem.
Grow closer to God and to one another by participating in our Lenten activities.
Shared Lenten Services
Schoeneck Moravian Church and Nazareth Moravian Church worship together for the Lenten season.
Schoeneck and Nazareth take turns hosting the worship services on Wednesday evenings, alternating years.
Sunday services remain at each individual church, as do Holy Week and Easter services.
Hosting This Year
For 2026, our midweek Lenten services are being hosted by Nazareth Moravian Church.
They are located on the circle in Nazareth, and their address is 4 S. Main Street, Nazareth PA 18064. Street parking is usually available near the church, with accessible parking spaces right in front.
