A new edition of our chaplaincy magazine, Becket News, is hot off the virtual press, including lots of news from our groups and details of all the Holy Week and Easter services. You can read it here.
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:
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.
Our walking group, the Church Wanderers, meets for the first time this year on 8 March for a central Hamburg walk, about 6km. We’re starting at 10 a.m. at U St. Pauli to walk through the Wallanlagen and by the Alster. Please contact Jo on wanderers@anglican-church-hamburg.de if you want to join us.
It’s been a while, but there’s finally a new edition of our chaplaincy magazine, Becket News, with news from our church and the wider diocese. You can read it online or download it here.
On Sunday, 1 December at 6.30 p.m. the Anglican Consort will be singing our annual Advent Carol Service, with readings and Advent music, including by contemporary female composers. Of course, there will be carols to join in, too. Do come along – and wrap up warm!
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:
Bishop Robert will be taking the service on Sunday 17th November at 10.30, both preaching and presiding on this significant occasion.
We have three adult candidates, and seven juniors this year, and they have all been preparing since soon after Easter: meeting to learn more about God, the Bible, Christian doctrine, our Anglican church and liturgy. It has been a rich and joyful time, and we wish each one of them well as they take this next step forward in affirming their faith, and also receive the sacrament of their first holy communion.
A reminder as the Confirmation becomes imminent, that no photography or video recording during services is permitted. Notices to this effect are displayed all around the church, but after a while, they do tend to become just ‘part of the wallpaper’! This is a general rule, and any potential exceptions must be discussed in advance with the Chaplain, along with receiving the permission of all those likely to be recorded. This applies to any recording, and whether or not you may intend to publish it on any sort of social media platform. When it comes to music, we are subject to performing rights and copyright considerations, and the Data protection and safeguarding rules are there to protect us all. So, please respect the privacy, property and wellbeing of others, most especially when you are in church. Thank you.
