The Chaplaincy Workshop II – Saturday 20th September 2025 @14:00
Our Voyage Together: Faith, Fellowship, and Finances at St. Catherine’s
Last March, in our first Chaplaincy Workshop, we reflected on the mission of the Church of England, explored our Anglican identity and churchmanship, and listened to one another about the life and ministry of St. Catherine’s. It was a time of deepening our sense of who we are as a chaplaincy.
This time, we invite you to come on board once again as we take the next step: looking at our voyage together as a community of faith. Using the image of a boat, we will reflect on the three essentials that keep us sailing toward God’s Kingdom — Faith, Fellowship, and Finances.
We will pray, listen, share in small groups, and vision together. Our survey from the third quarter of this year — very fresh in its insights — will guide us, giving voice to our community’s strengths and challenges. Together we will ask:
• How does faith give us courage for the journey?
• How does fellowship keep us rowing side by side?
• How do finances fuel our voyage so we can reach our destination?
When: Saturday 20th September 2025 at 14:00 at the side room (Ökumenischer Saal)
Closing: Communion Service at 17:00 (in anticipation of Sunday, 21 September, when there will be no church service)
Come and join us as we keep the MV St. Catherine’s sailing strong toward the horizon of peace, joy, and life in God’s future.
Sailing with you,
The Chaplain
| This Saturday’s Reflection
Matthew was a tax collector, surrounded by coins but longing for more. When Jesus called him, he left the booth and found wisdom greater than gold, mercy stronger than judgment, and a new vocation in the light of Christ. On this Feast of St. Matthew, we are reminded that following Christ means not holding back, but giving generously, so that together we may journey with strength toward God’s Kingdom. |
If anyone has a good condition German style Schulranzen for Grundschüler, which their kids are finished with, please bring it to the Anglican Centre and donate to the refugee mission. Thank you.
We pray for …
– Damaris and Oscar as they prepare for their wedding blessing at St. Catherine’s
– our Chaplaincy: all who come through the doors of our church and the Anglican Centre
– in this Season of Creation we give thanks for God’s abundant provision in nature and pray that we may be good stewards of all he gives us
