The Piedmont Triad is a beautiful region in North Carolina full of vibrant culture and traditions. One of the most popular traditions is the lovefeast, a celebration that takes place every Christmas season.

Lovefeasts are a tradition of the Moravian Church, which was founded in the Piedmont Triad in 1753. The celebration is held each year to honor the birth of Jesus. During the lovefeast, participants come together and share lovefeast buns and coffee or tea. Afterward, there is a candlelight service that includes singing and prayers. It is a truly special experience that celebrates the meaning of the holiday season.

The special candlelight lovefeast includes hymns, scripture readings, prayers, and a sermon. Lovefeasts are open to everyone and are a great way to experience the beauty and history of the Moravian Church.  The Piedmont Triad Living calendar includes full details for the local services.
This year, there are lovefeast services in Bethania, Lewisville, High Point, and Winston-Salem, NC.

In High Point, NC Wesley Memorial United Methodist Church is hosting its 49th Annual Lovefeast!

Winston-Salem’s lovefeast are held at the Calvary Moravian Church, Home Moravian Church, and Olivet Moravian Church. This is a great opportunity to experience the Moravian Church in its true form.

In Bethania, the lovefeast will be held at Bethania Moravian Church, and in Lewisville the lovefeast service is at Unity Moravian Church.
​
Whether you are looking for a special way to celebrate the holiday season or just want to experience a unique tradition, the lovefeasts across the Piedmont Triad are a wonderful way to experience the history and culture of the Moravian Church.

Working at the 500 W 5th building in Winston-Salem, NC has given me a unique perspective in downtown Winston-Salem's growth over the last few years.  One of my first jobs was working as an usher at the Steven's Center, when I was in high school back in the '90s.   Now that I'm back downtown, and cell phone cameras are ubiquitous, I've been snapping pictures of new and old things over the last few years.  Several LINK apartments have become a part of our landscape, and the newest one is directly behind 500 W 5th.  I've been chronicling the space since August 2019 and now three years later to the month, Link Apartments 4th Street will welcome their first residents next week.

The start of the project included demolition of the smaller building that stood behind the former GMAC building (now 500 W 5th).  Built as the home office for Security Life & Trust in 1963 (with an address of 420 North Spruce Street), an open house on June 14, 1963 invited the public to take a 30 minute tour for the Grand Opening that would "show you the highlights of this ultra-modern building".  Security Life was one of the first companies to completely computerize their records, and the 6 story windowless building, clad in aluminum, protected the huge mainframe computers with temperature and air quality control. (Source: North Carolina Collection of the Forsyth County Public Library)

In 1969, Security became Integon, an umbrella for their many operations.  In 1978, ground was broken behind the Security Life building for an 18 story skyscraper, which would be known as the Integon Building when it opened in 1980.  After an acquisition by General Motors, it became the GMAC building.   In 2017, Flow Companies purchased the former GMAC building and their headquarters are now housed on floors 15-18.  

This is part 1 of a series in the demolition and rebirth of the 420 North Spruce Street/501 4th Street space.   This first part begins in 2019 with the removal of the rooftop paneling in August through partial demolition of the building by the end of the year.

Reynolda, including Reynolda House, Reynolda Gardens, and Reynolda Village, is one of Winston-Salem's treasures.  Built as the estate of R.J. and Katharine Reynolds in 1912, it was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.  The house is now the Reynolda House Museum of American Art and is enjoyed by both locals and tourists.  

Reynolda is family friendly, and they offer tips for exploring the grounds with your children on their website here.

The village and gardens are free to explore, but there is an admission for Reynolda House.  There is free admission offered for museum members, children under 18, college students with ID, active or retired military personnel with ID, Wake Forest University  employees with ID and one guest, Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center with ID and one guest, and EBT Cardholders and up to three guests.  For more details about free admission to Reynolda House, go to their website here.

Reynolda has several upcoming events to enjoy the museum for free!  Reynolda On the House offers free admission to the public on certain days this Fall, and Cinema Under the Stars is a free outdoor film series that includes free museum entry before the film starts.  See details for these free events below.  

You can find more free events across the Triad on our Piedmont Triad Living calendar here!

 FREE film screening at Reynolda! 

Reynolda’s Friday night outdoor film series continues this year with an exciting addition: free museum admission from 6:30–8:30 p.m. to see the fall exhibition, "Chrome Dreams and Infinite Reflections: American Photorealism." The film will be shown at dark, typically around 8:30 p.m., on the main lawn of Reynolda House. Gates open at 6 p.m., and a cash bar will be available. Films are curated by a/perture cinema, selected because they evoke the imagery and expression of "Chrome Dreams."

This film is rated PG-13.
