Pentecost – Celebrating Confirmands – with Reception and Tour of our Church Renovation

UPDATE May 19, 2024 We enjoyed a wonderful service including an insightful sermon from Pastor Annika Klappert (https://youtu.be/uPRFEmHosP8), a performance by our Church Choir under the direction of Linda Marcinkus (https://youtu.be/hkTl82WATKY), an Affirmation of Faith, and Holy Communion. We could learn from a fun quiz about Pentecost facts by Tanya Zielke. After the service there was an opportunity to tour our newly renovated church spaces, with a unique map drawn by our Vice President, Jocelyn Sommerfeld! We would like to thank all members of the Building Project Team for their involvement in this endeavour, and especially Dan and Matthias for their many hours of volunteer work.

We also had a fantastic luncheon in our backyard. There were tasty pizzas from local restaurant Pizza Therapy, various donated salads, and even an ice cream station! It was lovely to get together, particularly in such nice weather. A big thank you goes out to all the volunteers who made this event possible!
