The Stephen’s Church in Beilen. Marjan Zinger
The Stefanuskerk in Beilen will officially reopen with a festive church service on Sunday 8 May at 10:00 AM, after a long period of renovation. A number of cultural and ecclesiastical meetings have already taken place in this building, but now everything is really ready. The Protestant Congregation Beilen wants to celebrate this with this service.
There is an opportunity to drink a cup of coffee together from 9.30 am. Afterwards, Rev. Magda Hazeleger will preside in this special service and Aaldert Oosterhuis will play the organ.
Satisfying
Rev. Hazeleger: ,,This is a very grateful moment for our church community. The ecclesiastical use of this village church remains very important for our community and our village. The organ is working again, even better than ever, and the image and sound are now in good order. That the doors are now officially open again for church work is cause for joy. We hope that people will feel at home here (again) and will also find their way to the building for reflection, inspiration, funeral and wedding services.”
Services are regularly held in the Stephen’s Church. After May 8, the next celebration will be on May 15.
