It’s Not Too Late to Join Alpha!
Are you curious about the Christian faith? Wrestling with life’s big questions? Or perhaps you know someone who would appreciate exploring these topics in a welcoming, low-pressure environment? Alpha offers a space for honest conversation, meaningful connections, and shared meals as we explore the basics of Christian faith together. Every question is welcome, and there’s no expectation or pressure.
Our Alpha course began on 19th Jan, but registration and participation are still very much open! We meet every Monday evening from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm at Petrus-Paulus-Kirche (Lorettostr. 61) for 10 weeks. If you missed the first session, don’t worry – you’re welcome to join us at any point. You can register through our contact form or simply come along to the next meeting.
We’d also love your support in other ways! If you’re interested in providing prayer support, helping out, or contributing a meal for one of the evenings, please let us know. Every contribution helps create a warm and welcoming experience for participants.
Mark Your Diary: Special Events
Choral Evensong – Sat, 31st Jan, 6 pm
The Evangelische Stadtkantorei invites us to a service of Choral Evensong on Saturday, 31st Jan at 6 pm at the Christuskirche.
Evensong is especially close to us Anglicans as one of the most beautiful treasures of Anglican worship, dating back to the English Reformation. This sung evening prayer service combines magnificent choral music with ancient prayers and Scripture readings, creating a contemplative space for reflection and spiritual refreshment at day’s end. Whether you’re curious about Anglican traditions or simply seeking a moment of peace through music and prayer, this service offers a perfect introduction to our liturgical heritage.

Supporting the ACF financially
We’re so grateful for your support and prayers for our church. We are independent from any external funding sources, such as German taxes (Kirchesteuer), the Church of England, or other institutions. We depend on the generous donations of our members and friends to cover all our expenses (the minister’s salary, rent, insurances, diocese contributions, …). Unfortunately, our reserves are running low and we need your help to keep going.
We want to continue to serve God and our community with love and faithfulness. That’s why we’re asking you to consider donating to the ACF on a regular basis. By setting up a standing bank order, you can help us plan our budget and resources more effectively. It’s easy and secure, and you can cancel or change it anytime. Thank you for your generosity and God bless you!
