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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As church leaders, we are therefore concerned with the question of how we can continue to create an open and welcoming space \u2013 for people who are already part of our congregation, as well as for guests and new visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We have been praying about this development for some time and have discussed it carefully amongst ourselves. In doing so, we have come to the conclusion that holding two services on Sunday mornings could be a positive and forward-looking option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We would therefore like to run a pilot scheme from the autumn half-term of 2026 until the spring half-term of 2027, with two services (at 9.00 am and 10.45 am). We will then evaluate this period together and review our experiences. During school holidays, on public holidays or for evening services, there will continue to be only one morning service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We are currently drawing up a detailed plan for this step, which we will first discuss with the teams and staff involved. We will then provide the whole congregation with more detailed information about the planned implementation. We are aware that change can provoke a variety of reactions. We are therefore all the more grateful to everyone who is supporting this courageous step with goodwill and sustaining it in prayer. It is our hope that our congregation will continue to be a place where people can encounter God and feel warmly welcomed.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"template":"","seetal_chile_poscht_ausgabe":[113],"class_list":["post-11895","seetal_chile_poscht","type-seetal_chile_poscht","status-publish","hentry","seetal_chile_poscht_ausgabe-seetal-chile-poscht-06-2026-f3b90d9a-30e3-41af-920c-760499c44a71"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.seetal-chile.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/seetal_chile_poscht\/11895","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.seetal-chile.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/seetal_chile_poscht"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.seetal-chile.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/seetal_chile_poscht"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.seetal-chile.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blog.seetal-chile.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/seetal_chile_poscht\/11895\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11896,"href":"https:\/\/blog.seetal-chile.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/seetal_chile_poscht\/11895\/revisions\/11896"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.seetal-chile.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11895"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"seetal_chile_poscht_ausgabe","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.seetal-chile.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/seetal_chile_poscht_ausgabe?post=11895"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
