An Evening Between Word, Music, and Silence
The focus will be on a spiritual impulse from Pastor Benjamin von Legat. He will speak on the theme of being touched and connect the evening with a theological perspective on perception, trust, and inner movement. The musical arrangement will be led by Ulrich Maßner at the Steinmann organ, featuring works by Johann Sebastian Bach and Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy. This creates a religious experience that intricately intertwines liturgy and music. ([bielefeld.jetzt](https://www.bielefeld.jetzt/node/1712877))

The Peter and Paul Church belongs to the Ev.-Luth. Congregation Heepen-Oldentrup and serves as the center of community life in the Heepen district. The church is regularly accessible as an open church and is located on Heeper Straße; bus line 26 stops at the Tieplatz Kirche stop, about 50 meters away.

Church Music as a Living Practice of Faith
Church music visibly shapes the evangelical spirituality in Heepen. The Musical Evening Prayer offers a space where congregational singing, organ sound, and silent listening come together. The combination of Bach and Mendelssohn-Bartholdy gives the evening depth and dignity and opens a pathway to reflection, gratitude, and hope.

A Community with Openness and Tradition
The Heepen-Oldentrup congregation was formed in 2020 from the merger of the Heepen and Oldentrup communities. Its focuses include family-friendly offerings, church music, and opportunities for seniors to connect. The evening prayer thus takes place in a community that consciously brings together faith, generations, and community.
