We have been producing Christmas cards by recycling used cards in aid of the historic English Church of St Thomas à Becket for over 30 years. For several years now, we have offered online ordering alongside physical sales. The double cards, complete with envelopes, are 148 x 110 mm and have a Christmas and New Year greeting in English and German. They cost €15 for 10 cards and can be ordered online using this form or bought at various events, including the Church Bazaar, giving you the opportunity to choose your motifs personally.

The Church Wanderers walk scheduled for 25 November has been cancelled. The next walk will be in January.

Christmas may come but once a year, but it seems to come along faster every time. Before you know it, it’ll be time to stir up your pudding and buy your Christmas cards. Our card team has been producing recycled cards in aid of our church for over 30 years. Motifs range from religious and nativity scenes, winter landscapes, robins, Christmas scenes, animals, humorous, and other festive themes such as wreaths, flowers candles, etc. The double cards, complete with envelopes, are 148 x 110 mm and have a Christmas and New Year greeting in English and German. A pack of ten assorted cards and envelopes costs €15. You can buy your cards after the Sunday service from 5 November until just before Christmas Day, at the church bazaar on 18 November and after the various carol services in church during December. You can also order online using this form.
