REVISED GUIDELINES FOR IN-PERSON WORSHIP IN THE SANCTUARY (11-8-21):
•All worshippers must properly wear face masks covering nose and mouth.
•There will be no nursery care at this time.
•Everyone is encouraged to read the liturgical responses and sing the hymns.
•There will be designated seating in the sanctuary (pews with cushions are reserved for worshippers).

At RMC we strongly encourage everyone to be vaccinated. At this time, we no longer require vaccination in order to attend in person worship, but hope that, if you are able to be vaccinated that you will do so in consideration of the most vulnerable in our congregation. We will continue to remain masked in worship and at all times while in the building and continue to ask parishioners to maintain social distance when in attendance. If you are sick, have been exposed to someone who is sick, or have been diagnosed with Covid 19, we respectfully ask that you do not attend service in-person.
The Church Board appreciates everyone’s patience, understanding, and support during this transition time. As Covid19 numbers continue to change, the board is responding to new numbers. We pray the restrictions are heading in the right direction but if at any time statistics change the board will make decisions accordingly.

Advent Study 2021
The Heart That Grew Three Sizes: Finding Faith in the Story of the Grinch By Matt Rawle
We don’t know why the Grinch hated Christmas. We just know he did. If we’re being honest, there’s probably something within the Christmas season celebration that awakens a Grinch within all of us. Maybe the gift we unwrapped was all wrong or memories that were supposed to be joyful never were. When everything seems wrong in the world, even joyful celebrations are much too loud. In his new Advent study, Matt Rawle explores the faith themes in the Christmas classic How the Grinch Stole Christmas. How did the Grinch’s heart grow three sizes come Christmas morning? How did Christmas save the Grinch? Could it be the very thing we think we hate is the one thing that changes our life? Rediscover and reinvigorate your Christian faith this Advent and Christmas season and look at this familiar classic through the lens of faith. Components for this four-week Advent study include a DVD featuring Matt Rawle teaching in his friendly, casual, appealing style; and, a group discussion experienced through zoom on Mondays at 11:00 AM.
Participants are encouraged to purchase the book through your preferred book seller.
Contact Joyce Vance if you are interested in joining this discussion at jvance8001@hotmail.com or 704-962-5007.
Class will be held on Mondays between 11:00-12:30 each week on November 22, 29, December 6 and 13.

A letter in response to the increasing polarization in our country...
As a Christian congregation within the Moravian tradition, we want our voice to be heard in an intentionally non-partisan way. At Raleigh Moravian, our different political perspectives fall under the headship of Christ, our Chief Elder. May this letter serve as a witness to our shared belief in "all things love."
