OUR OFFERS THIS CHRISTMAS SEASON
Christmas Celebrations
Our highlight every Sunday – Celebrations – our weekly church service. And they can be a little different: loud, cheerful and passionate, and of course Christmassy during Advent.
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Isaiah 9:6 | The Bible – NIV

BUY A STAR – GIFT HOPE
The fate of people from broken homes resonates deeply with us as a church. This year, too, we want to make a difference in our neighborhoods. We at ICF are in weekly contact with kids from broken homes around Switzerland and with kids from refugee camps in Northern Iraq. We want to build consistent relationships with them, giving them stability and hope. With your purchase of a star for 15 or 25 Swiss francs you make a Christmas present for one of these children possible.
