Due to current conditions Sunday school has already begun its Christmas break. Our creche/nursery service for the younger children will however continue to be offered until today, Dec. 19.

Documentary proof can be the electronic (QR code in one of the Covid Apps) or paper (vaccination certificate or booklet), through electronic proof is preferred. A self-test is not adequate. Please have these ready on arrival to avoid delays. Thank you!
