Hannover International Worship

WELCOME!

The Hannover International Worship team welcomes you: Come and join us for worship at Petri Church in Kleefeld!

We celebrate our services on the third Sunday of every month at 11:30 a.m., featuring English language sermons by a different preacher each time.

After service, we usually have coffee and refreshments and fellowship in the annex. We have begun to have refreshments again but will have to decide on short notice for each service if the situation allows doing it. We hope to be able to invite you to meet some of the other visitors from many different nations and backgrounds, to enjoy getting to know each other or just having a relaxed chat.

Nine Lessons and Carols

Nine Lessons and Carols is coming up again on December 19, 2021!

To make sure we can accomodate everyone who wishes to attend, we have decided to celebrate two services on this Sunday:

December 19, 2021, 9:30 a.m.

December 19, 2021, 11:30 a.m.

Like last year, we will have a ticket system for this service. Tickets are free, but you will need to have a ticket to attend. You can get a ticket on Sunday, Nov. 21, right after our service, or at the Petri-Nikodemus church office during office hours.

Worship in the Current Situation

We are joyfully celebrating our services again after the shutdown in March and April of 2020. In order to minimize risk of infection, we have to comply with a set of rules and restrictions which may change on short notice.

If you feel any signs of an infection, please protect yourself and others by staying at home. Call your doctor and ask him or her by phone how to proceed.

- All visitors are required to put on an FFP2 face mask or a surgical face mask before entering church and to wear it throughout the service. Masks made of fabric, masks with a valve, or makeshift solutions like scarves are not allowed.

- In order to be able to follow up on chains of infection, we are required to take down your name and contact information. This information will not be used for any other purpose, and it will be destroyed after three weeks.

- We are required to seat people at a certain distance from each other. Members of one household may of course sit together.

- The rules on congregational singing depend on the pandemic situation. We will announce the current rules at the beginning of each service. We will provide you with service sheets in any case so even if singing is not allowed, you can follow along and sing in your hearts.

- We have not been able to recommence with Sunday school yet.

- We have begun having refreshments or coffee after service again but will have to decide on short notice before each service if it will be possible. This can take place only under 3G restrictions, so please bring your vaccination certificate or a current test with you. As much as everyone enjoys home-made food, please do not bring any along at this point. We will provide cookies or other small snacks.

These restrictions do limit our possibilities, but we will not let them keep us from celebrating joyful services again!
