Summer Anyway

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our summer get-togethers in Erfurt and Weimar! ☀️🍷🧀
It was definitely summer — even if the weather seemed to have a different opinion! Whether you were sweating or shivering, we hope you enjoyed the wine, cheese and good company.
Thanks for joining in and making it a lovely evening!

Come by and join us for worship this week after some kind of summerbreak. Following the services in Erfurt on Thursday and in Weimar on Saturday we invite you to stay and share your summer experiences while enjoying a bit of wine and cheese (weather permitting).

Today we gathered for a peaceful Taizé Prayer instead of our usual Eucharist.

A moment to slow down, breathe, meditate, sing, pray, and simply rest in God’s presence. Especially during the summer holidays, it’s good to pause and find a little space for peace.

Thank you to everyone who joined us this evening. 💛

You’re warmly invited to our next service on Saturday, August 8, 2026. We’d love to see you there!

We will be celebrating Evening Worship with music from Taizé on Saturday, 25 July at 17h (5pm) in the Kreuzkirche in Weimar. For anyone who hasn’t experienced Taizé, it is a wonderfully meditative musical prayer experience. We would love to have you join us for this very special service.

We are a group of Christians from many parts of the world whose common language is English. St. Michael’s is a mission of the Convocation of Episcopal Churches in Europe and welcomes anyone and everyone to worship with us, no matter where you might be on your path with Jesus.

DETAILS
Would you like to understand mental illness better, learn how to care without burn-out, and think about how the Christian faith intersects with mental health?The Sanctuary course is an opportunity to learn more about mental health and illness from experts by experience and experts by training. Mental health is considered from biological, social, psychological, and spiritual angles, with an emphasis on how the church can help.

The course comprises 8 sessions, each with a high-quality video introducing one person’s story, and reflections on this by other experts. We then discuss the video input in small groups, reflect on the theological implications and contemplate a piece of art relevant to the topic of the week, which are: mental health, mental illness, stigma, recovery, companionship, care-giving, self-care, and reflection. The course is in English, if there are enough people who wish there could be small group discussions in other languages- providing that people offer to facilitate such groups.

We will meet weekly online on a Wednesday evening 19.00 Paris/Munich time, we will not meet during the week of convention (no meeting 7th Oct).
The course builds on previous weeks learning, so you will need to be able to commit to attending almost every week. There is no formal preparation or homework, but there is material provided should you wish to study further.

This is not a therapy group, it is intended to be suitable for those with lived experience of mental illness or caring for those with mental illness, but is not appropriate for those who are currently struggling or in crisis.

Facilliators: Ali Gray, former consultant psychiatrist and Lydia Jones, recently retired GP.
This course is offered free to all European Anglicans.
