Sunday Worship April 11, 2021
Please join us for our service of Holy Eucharist on Sunday April 11 (Easter II) at 10:00 am. Our readings are Acts 4:32-3,1 John 1:1-2:2, and John 20:19-31. Fr. Chris will be presiding, Robert Vukovic is preaching (also at the 5.00 pm service in Mainz). The bulletin is here.
You can join our worship services either in church, or live online (via Facebook Live). You should be able to go straight to the Livestream using this link (even if you do not have a Facebook account – just ignore any attempts to make you register)! Should that not work, please go to our Facebook page here and scroll down until you find the Livestream, which we will start at 9.45 am (for 10.00 am).
We currently only have seating for up to 45 people (including the choral ensemble and altar party). So please only come, if you have registered. If you are coming to the service, please download the bulletin to your phone or tablet, if you can, as we are printing fewer paper bulletins to avoid wastage.
Please also note that a medical mask (surgical, FFP2 or DIN KN95/N95) must now be worn while attending church. Homemade textile masks and scarves etc. are no longer acceptable.
If you want to include prayers for yourself or another during the Prayers of the People at any of our services, please send me an email

Annual General Meeting (AGM) and Vestry elections
Our AGM will take place on Saturday, April 24, but due to current Covid developments and rules will be entirely online. You have received an invitation with an opportunity to register, if you are a voting member. Even as an online meeting the usual rules concerning a quorum apply, so we will need at least thirty Voting Members to be present at the meeting.
Pentecost
It is our tradition at Pentecost (Sunday, May 23) to read the lesson from Acts (2:1-21) in as many different languages as possible. Please let Fr. Chris know if you want to be part of this.
Concerts
We hope to begin our concert season on Wednesday, May 19 at 1.00 pm with the first of our regular Lunchtime Recitals with Erika LeRoux and Friends. Posters and flyers are available.
