Our church on NDR
We featured briefly in NDR’s 21 May “Nordtour” broadcast. For those who missed it, here’s a link to the Mediathek. Our bit starts about 41 mins into the programme.
Thomas Becket’s elbow arrives in UK
A bone fragment purporting to come from the elbow of our patron saint, the 12th century English martyr St Thomas Becket, has arrived in the UK from Hungary. On display in the UK for the first time since it was taken to Hungary 800 years ago, the relic is the centrepiece of a pilgrimage from London to Canterbury. You can read further reporting on the BBC and Church of England websites.
Wanderers off to Eiderstedt
On 14 May, the Church Wanderers will be exploring Katinger Watt nature reserve alongside the Eider estuary and the North Sea coast in a walk of about 10 km. For transport reasons, numbers are limited for this walk.

Well done, flea market
Saturday’s flea market raised €1,000 for the church. A big thank-you to everyone who helped. Every penny counts.
