Christmas Celebrations
Our highlight every Sunday – the Celebrations – our weekly church service. And it can be a little different: loud, cheerful, and passionate, and during the Advent of course Christmassy. Both online and on site, we ring in the Christmas season together and celebrate Advent with Sundays rich in variety.
„ 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.
