- Return2Church – is to go ‘live’ for the start of Advent so please book yourself in for service on SA 28.11. @17.00 (chaplain@stcatherines-stuttgart.de). The exact same service will be online on Sunday – the best time to enjoy this is probably in the evening, after lighting lots of candles.
- Firebowl – Does anyone have a fire-bowl that we could borrow for the carol singing events which we hope to be able to hold outside church in the final week before Christmas ? Please contact the chaplain for more details, if you think you can help.
- ZoomCompline – will continue through Advent. It is a quiet reflective service lasting only about 20 minutes on a Sunday evening starting at 21:00. If you’d like to join in please let Kara know so she can send you the code (chaplain@stcatherines-stuttgart.de).
- ZoomCoffee – will be continue through Advent at usual time of Sunday mornings @10.30. If you’d like to join in please let Kara know so she can send you the code (chaplain@stcatherines-stuttgart.de).
- Marmalade Makers – sadly we have had to cancel this year’s St Catherine’s Annual Bazaar BUT we can still make and, in exchange for a donation to church funds, distribute marmalade. If you would like to join this year’s team of MarmaladeMakers (or any other preserve you would like to contribute) please let Alison know (wardens@stcatherines-stuttgart.de) and very many thanks.
- Klick&Kollect Knitted Nativity: Similarly, a friend of St. Catherine’s has been busy and one of these lovely figures could find its home on your, or a friend’s, Christmas tree this year. These are available, in exchange for a donation, for collection from the Anglican Centre when you are next in Stuttgart.

For regular giving to St. Catherine’s setting up a “Dauerauftrag”, if you can, means you don’t have to remember to do this at the end of every service and helps support the on-going fixed costs of St. Catherine’s.
Thank you supporting our church.
Yours Lord is the greatness, the splendour and the majesty.
Everything we have comes from you and of your own do we give you.
