Two church services on Sunday morning

It is with great gratitude that we have seen our services attracting more and more people in recent years. We are delighted about this! At the same time, we are increasingly noticing that our hall is regularly almost full and that the bistro area is also reaching its limits.

We have been praying about this development for some time and have discussed it carefully amongst ourselves as church leaders. In doing so, we have come to the conclusion that holding two services on Sunday mornings could be a positive and forward-looking option.

We would therefore like to run a pilot scheme from 11 October 2026 until the spring half-term holidays in 2027, with two services (at 9.00 am and 10.45 am). We will then evaluate this period together and assess what we have learnt from the experience. During school holidays, on public holidays or for evening services, there will continue to be only one morning service.

For this step, we have a a concrete plan has been drawn up. In it, you can find detailed information about the planned implementation.

We are aware that change can elicit a variety of reactions. We are therefore all the more grateful to everyone who is supporting this courageous step with kindness and sustaining us through their prayers. It is our hope that our congregation will continue to be a place where people can encounter God and feel truly welcome.
