Local Four-Year Baccalaureate University Invites Community Members to Attend Traditional Holiday Religious Event
Raleigh, NC, November 27, 2013 --(PR.com)-- William Peace University, a private four-year university located in downtown Raleigh, has announced it will host its annual community Moravian Lovefeast service on Sunday, Dec. 8 from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. in Dinwiddie Chapel, located at 15 E. Peace St. Led by Rev. Dr. R. Lee Carter, Bennett Chaplain, the Lovefeast will feature special student, faculty and staff speakers. The service is dedicated to Christian love, and community members are welcomed to receive communion at the event.
Based on the Agape feast and meals of the early church described in the Bible, which were partaken in unity and love, a traditional Moravian Lovefeast features dieners (from the German word for servers) providing a sweetened bun and coffee to the congregation in the pews. Songs and hymns will be sung throughout the service, and the congregation can talk quietly with their fellow brothers and sisters in Christ about their spiritual walk with God.
The event is free of charge, but reservations are recommended. For reservations, visit http://bit.ly/1bBoSRo.
