Picnic service in the Neustadt monastery: Celebrate the creation together!

In Neustadt there will be a special event on Saturday that reinterprets traditional services in a charming way. It is a picnic service in the picturesque monastery park, which invites the participants into a relaxed atmosphere, far from church pews and formal seating.

The service begins at 4 p.m. and is thematically geared towards the time of creation that the church celebrates in September. This year the focus is on the forest, which not only ensures a harmonious connection to nature, but also fits the interreligious dialogue on the occasion of the ecumenical day of creation. The organizers Brigitte Deiters and Father Olav Hamelijnck express their wish that the weather will play on Saturday after the premiere had to be moved to closed rooms in July.
