Celebrate Pentecost in mutiple languages

A diverse festival organised by Together in Christ took place on Whit Monday 2024 at and in the Christuskirche. It began with international food, cakes, musical contributions and creative activities in the afternoon. More than 100 members and guests from the various member churches of the project took part in the Pentecost service with children’s worship that followed. A highlight was the first performance of the new Together in Christ band. The sermon was preached by Justice Okwan, a catechist from the Church of Pentecost in Detmold.

Pentecost plays a very special role in the transcultural cooperation of Together in Christ. What is described in the Bible as a miracle of languages is experienced by visitors to the international church services every third Sunday of the month at 5 pm: understanding and fellowship across the boundaries of language, cultural tradition and denomination.
