On Saturday, November 11, 2011, the Moravian Church Eastern West Indies Province hosted a banquet at the Grand Royal Antiguan Beach Resort in Antigua.
At the event, dubbed ‘A Black Tie Affair,’ educators who are also active in the life of our church were honoured; three from the host conference, Antigua and two from each of the other five Conferences of the Province.
Those selected by the Conferences and honoured were:
Barbados – Sis. Gloria Skeete, Bro. Lisle Map
Tobago – Sis. Roslyn Moore-Alleyne, Bro. Philbrick Smith
Virgin Islands – Sis. Carmen Moorehead Mills, Sis. Jeanette Smith-Barry
St. Kitts – Bro. Sidney Osborne, Sis. Sandra Morton
Trinidad – Sis. Jasmine Jacob, Sis. Trudy Kerr
Antigua – Sis. Ruth Limerick, Sis. Genevieve Smith, Bro. Clarence Edwards
The banquet was also an effort to “kick-start” the fund-raising for a multi-discipline college in Antigua. The Moravian Church has long recognized the importance of education for the growth and development of any people, and from its advent in the Caribbean sought to meet that need of the people. The College would be a renewal of the church’s educational trust at the secondary and tertiary level.
Although it will be located in Antigua, the College will be a Provincial project. This means that all Moravians in the Province are invited to support it prayerfully and financially.
We congratulate the honourees.

God’s Plumbline & His Amazing Grace |

“By grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God.” Eph. 2:8
In biblical times God often spoke of judgment on His people. He did so because of their waywardness and unrighteous living. Consistently He used the prophets to forecast His judgment and call the people back to righteousness. Through Hosea, He spoke to their idolatry and unfaithfulness. Through Amos, He addressed insincere worship and oppression of the poor. He used Micah to speak to injustice and Joel to deal with self-centredness. Zephaniah dealt with idolatry and Jonah was sent to preach against the wickedness of Nineveh. Of course, Isaiah and Jeremiah spoke to many of these issues.

Provincial Youth Camp 2010 Experience |

My Experience
As a young boy growing up, I have always enjoyed camping, so when the opportunity arose for me to attend the Provincial Youth Camp I anticipated that day with great anticipation. There were five other campers from my island who were not familiar to myself even though I would have recognized them from other congregations. Prior to leaving Barbados we had several meetings where we had the opportunity to interact and become familiar with each other.

Statement by Rev. Dr. Cortroy Jarvis
Chairman, Moravian Church, Eastern West Indies Province
The Moravian Church Eastern West Indies Province is pleased identify itself with the people of Haiti and their struggles. The massive earthquake that struck Haiti on January 12, 2010, did untold damage to the infrastructure of that country, but more than that, the death toll rose to between 217,000 and 230,000 people. An estimated 300,000 persons were injured, and an estimated 1,000,000 homeless. They also estimated that 250,000 residences and 30,000 commercial buildings had collapsed or were severely damaged as a result of the earthquake. This destruction has brought to the fore what the forces of nature can do. It has brought to the fore that as a people, we must make every moment count for something good, for we are here one moment and gone the next. It has brought to the fore that we should be our brothers and sisters keeper, for we do not know what the future holds.

Equipped and Engaged, a Church That Will Never Die |
|
|
|
|
The Moravian Church on March 1, 2011, celebrates 554 years of Christian witness worldwide. In describing the Moravian Church one can testify like St. Paul: we are hard pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed. Always carrying about in the body, the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body (2 Cor.4:8- 10).
The “Unity of the Brethren”, is a Protestant religious group inspired by Hussite spiritual ideals in Bohemia in the mid-15th century, on March 1, 1457 to be exact. They followed a simple, humble life of nonviolence, using the Bible as their sole rule of faith. They denied transubstantiation but received the Eucharist and deemed religious hymns of great importance.
