St.
Paul's
provides an opportunity for regular Christian worship and community in the English language.
Pastor Paul Otterstein
is a pastor in both the Nordelbishe
Kirche, the "Landeskirche"
in Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein, and in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Before coming to serve the German congregation
at the Paulskirche in Schenefeld, he served
for more than 15 years as a pastor and chaplain in the
U.S.A.
St. Paul's is for all
who would like to worship in the English language. Everyone is welcome! We are ecumenical and
Christ-centered, drawing from both traditional
liturgical and contemporary sources. We like traditional
and
modern music, quiet meditation and spirit filled joy. Week by week we want to
rediscover and celebrate God's amazing grace!
All ages are welcome. The worship service begins at 11:30
a.m., includes a time and parallel activities for children, and is followed by a "coffee hour" -
an informal opportunity for visiting with one another.
The "Explorers:" An Evening Discussion Group
Our discuss-and-learn group, "The Explorers," meets monthly. What do we do here? Each month we chose a topic that has to do with Christian faith and life. At the beginning we introduce the topic with a
story, Bible reading, video, or presentation, and then we dive into a discussion
to learn more from one another. The goal is personal enrichment through sharing.
English is the main language, but
German (and some other languages) are also welcome and often heard. At the end we close
with a prayer.
We normally meet on the 3rd Wednesday evening of each month at 7:30 p.m. in the "Haus am Turm" right next to the church, but we may vary the meeting day in a given month, so it's best to check here for the next meeting time. Our next meeting is on:
Wednesday, 22 February, 7:30 p.m. in the "Haus am Turm" at the Paulskirche
Come and join us!
