Sunday Service 19 May 11:00am. Sermon-The Story of Tamar

Events – Friday, May 10th, 2019


Come and join us on Sunday 19 May at 11:00 am for our Sunday Service, to hear the latest in a series of sermons on famous stories -” The Greatest Hits from the Bible”. This week’s story is of Tamar, from the Book of Genesis, the Old Testament. Click here to read the Bible story in English, French or German.

The Bible is full of great stories which are part of our cultural heritage and collective knowledge. Who hasn’t heard of Adam and Eve, Noah’s Ark, the Ten Commandments, David and Goliath, the creation of the world, or Jesus walking on water? Novelists and artists refer to these stories in their works, and they are popular children’s tales too. They fascinate and inspire people around the globe and across cultures, and religious affiliations.

Reverend Carla Maurer explores and re-interpret these famous stories, “The greatest Hits of the Bible”, in a sermon series which  started in January and will run until the summer break at the end of July.

In The Swiss Church, we worship in the Reformed tradition and have an ecumenical outlook.

Our hymns and liturgy are in English, French and German, and accompanied on the Späth organ, played by our Director of Music, Peter Yardley-Jones. The service will be conducted by our Minister Revd. Carla Maurer. The sermon is in English. Printed copies, including a large-print version will be available at the Service.

Please stay for lunch after the Service. It is an excellent opportunity to get to know people and to chat. You will be most welcome. If you would enjoy the opportunity to chat in Swiss German, or French, come and join us. We all speak English too, and a number of other languages as well. We look forward to meeting you all – friends, new and old.
