28th Ecumenical Pentecost Service: Community and Faith in Bielefeld

Pentecost Service in the Open Air at Altstädter Kirchpark

On Pentecost Monday, this ecumenical service connects people from various Christian traditions in a spiritual community in the heart of Bielefeld's Old Town. Under the Pentecost word Behold, I make all things new, a serene yet festive space for prayer, music, and connection is created.

A Festival of the Holy Spirit

Pentecost is regarded in Christian theology as a celebration of sending, renewal, and understanding. The ecumenical service embraces this faith experience and invites everyone to experience the power of liturgy, blessing, and communal prayer anew.

A Place with History and Spiritual Presence

The Altstädter Kirchpark at the Altstädter Nicolaikirche lies at Bielefeld's oldest town church, which has stood in the middle of the Old Town for centuries. The congregation sees itself as an open church, welcoming dialogue and hospitality for religious encounters and pastoral care.

Music, Encounter, and Moving Forward Together

Musically, Simon Schuttemeier accompanies the service; afterwards, there will be time for conversations over drinks and finger food. Thus, from the celebration, a vibrant moment of community, quietness, and gratitude emerges, making the Pentecost festival especially accessible.
