Special Services and Special Music

We love music! We are fortunate to have beautiful organ music and hymn accompaniment in every single one of our services.

We love to sing! We come from a great variety of different traditions, thus bringing a wealth of different styles and tunes into our services.

We enjoy listening to beautiful music! Many times, we have special music in our services by the Petri Choir or another musical group or by a soloist.

Nine Lessons and Carols

Everybody's favorite: Our service of Nine Lessons and Carols which is held on the third Sunday of December. We get to enjoy the beautiful singing of the Petri Choir led by Hagen Heinicke, and in the last years we have also had the Handbell Choir led by Ellen Grützmacher. What a beautiful way to celebrate the Christmas season!

World Day of Prayer

In March of 2022, we celebrated World Day of Prayer for the very first time. The order of service is prepared by a committee of Christian women from different denominations.  The exciting part is that the committee is from a different country every year, so we get to "travel" to a different country every year and hear the stories of women from that country. Find out more!

Special Easter Service

For the first time in 2025, we had a special service on Easter Sunday in the style of Nine Lessons and Carols, without a sermon but with lots of joyful easter hymns and scripture readings.  

Kirchentag Special

The Kirchentag took place in Hannover in 2025, an exciting event with hundreds of thousands of visitors. We decided to have an extra service on this special occasion, and we had visitors from all over the world join us. We hope some of them will come to our services again next time they visit Hannover!
