On 16 May, members of the congregation past and present joined Roger’s wife, Heidi, his children Rachel and William, and family and friends to remember and give thanks for his life.
The service reflected on both Roger’s personal life and his dedication to ministry, and included a touching eulogy given by Rachel.

Canon Colin Williams used the Easter message to convey Roger’s remarkable qualities as a priest.

A smaller service followed at Ohlsdorf for the interment of Roger’s ashes and to lay flowers at the STB-owned grave plot.

Roger will be fondly remembered and much missed by all who knew him.

If you would like to make a donation to STB in Roger’s memory, please donate to our bank account (Englisch-bischoefliche Gemeinde, IBAN DE46 2005 0550 1280 1464 22, BIC HASPDEHHXXX), marking the payment ‘Roger White’. Thank you.

These have been handed out/posted. If you have not received your certificate, but have made donations please email treasury@anglican-church-hamburg.de.

We can only send certificates if we have your correct address. For some donors we are missing addresses completely.

A huge thank you to all who donate to the church. Regular donations by standing order are particularly appreciated as these provide a stable income. To be able to employ a new chaplain we need more income from regular donations. Every bit helps not matter how little. THANK YOU.

Before the 2025 AGM, our electoral roll must be completely renewed from scratch—so everyone needs to apply or reapply. (This renewal takes place every six years under church law.)

There are several ways for you to obtain and submit the form:

• You can download the form directly from the Diocese in Europe website: Application for Enrolment on the Chaplaincy Electoral Roll, or you can collect a printed copy in church.
• Once completed, you can return the form by email to the Electoral Roll Officer, Dorothee Moeller (electoralroll@anglican-church-hamburg.de), or hand it in in person to Dorothee or one of the churchwardens. If you would like to submit it by email but do not have a scanner, a clear photograph of the form is perfectly fine, provided all details are readable.

If you experience any issues downloading the form from the Diocese’s website, please contact Dorothee, who will be happy to email it to you instead.    

As many of you know, last year our STB card-recycling project once again raised a total of 6,000 Euros (including a generous donation from the former Hon. British Consul Claus Budelmann.) The team is once again in full swing for 2024, preparing high quality Christmas and greetings cards for sale at the Bazaar, Victorian Christmas Market and various other church and local events. The Christmas greetings are in both English and German with motifs to suit all tastes! 

If you would like to order your Christmas cards online instead,  you can access the order form right here, right now:

We have had two collections so far, and are keen to continue our links with this local charity, as part of our wider engagement in Hamburg.

This request is for someone to schedule the periodic collection dates. Then to arrange a car to deliver the items collected to the charity’s main building (old Fischmarkt area, close to church) during the week after each collection has taken place.

Please contact the Chaplain for further details or if you have any questions. 

Please come to the thanksgiving, and bring a gift of non-perishable food with you. We will gather these together during the worship, and then afterwards take the foodstuffs to the local Salvation Army, so that your donations can be used to help others.

Please stay on after the service, so that we can share food and fellowship together. Becket Mix will be making toasties and waffles to start us off; if you wish, please bring something of your own to eat and/or drink too. All welcome, and the more the merrier!
