“I am thrilled to participate in this wonderful tradition and witness the lighting of the Moravian Star to kick off the holiday season this year,” said Dr. David Zaas, president of Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist. “Our desire is for this star to represent hope, joy, and light to our community, our teammates, and all who pass by it each night.”

A Moravian band, led by the Rev. Dr. Nola Reed Knouse, will provide music before and during the event.

Hot apple cider and Moravian cookies will be served after a brief worship service.
