This is our main service each Sunday. Normally a traditional Eucharist with sermon. Always a warm welcome. Sunday School once a month.
All are welcome to a service of Evening Prayer each Tuesday evening.
Each Tuesday during Lent, all are invited to join in 30 minutes of prayer for the needs of the world, our community, and ourselves. We meet on Zoom at 8pm, directly after Evening Prayer (7.30pm).
Our Book Club meets on Zoom on 19 March. As an accompaniment through Lent and beyond, we’ll be discussing ‘Sacred Rhythms: Arranging Our Lives for Spiritual Transformation’ by Ruth Haley Barton.
Picking up on the monastic tradition of creating a Rule of Life, the author introduces seven key spiritual disciplines and practical ideas for weaving them into everyday life.
A participant’s guide is also available (‘Sacred Rhythms: Spiritual Practices That Nourish Your Soul and Transform Your Life’), but this is not necessary for the Book Club meeting.
Together with the Old Catholic congregation of St. Cyprian's, Bonn, this Lent we have decided to follow – with the aid of the app Stolpersteine NRW – a route with five stations of Stolpersteine ('stumbling stones'). At each station we will stop to remember, to pray and where necessary to clean the stones. There are 16 stones on the route. We will meet at 5pm on Thursday 3 April in Combahnstr., Bonn-Beuel, in front of house no. 43.
Stolpersteine are memorial stones set into the pavement. They help us to think about the fate of victims around and during WWII. They bring families back together in memory that were suddenly torn apart under National Socialism.

Our Prayer Shawl Ministry group meets again in Hürtgenwald on Saturday 12 April from 10am to 4pm.
This powerful ecumenical ministry and spiritual practice reaches out to those in need of comfort and solace, as well as in celebration and joy.
Prayer shawl ministry groups can be found all over the world. They knit or crochet shawls to console those who are grieving, comfort those who are ill, and bring hope to those in despair. Shawls may also be made to celebrate life and its milestones.
Many blessings are prayed into every stitch.
Please pray for our knitters and their work, and the people who will receive the gifts of this ministry of compassion.
