  From our Pastor

Welcome to Advent Moravian Church in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.
    I am happy to serve currently at Advent Church as its part-time Interim Pastor. My previous years here as the Pastor (in the 70's) left pleasant memories, and the current congregation is certainly positive, rich in personal resources, and looking to its future. My pastoral experience includes full or part-time work in 10 different congregations, chaplaincy at Moravian College and Theological Seminary, and teaching at the Seminary in the Pastoral Department for 17 years. I believe in the Church and its God given mission to the world. And I invite you to join us for worship and fellowship on Sundays at either 8:30 or 10:45. May the Lord bless you and keep you.
    Rev. Dr. Willard R. Harstine
