Winter Bible School restarts: First evening postponed to December 4th!
The winter Bible school of the Catholic parish of Lübeck starts with a slight delay, but the anticipation remains unbroken. As can be read on the parish website, the event begins on December 4th and not as originally planned. The reason for the postponement is illness, but now all preparations have been completed and the organizers are in the starting blocks.
The first evening deals with the fascinating topic “Jacob makes a pilgrimage to the place of his encounter with God”. The event takes place from7:15 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. in the House of Encounter, Parade 4instead of. Participants have the opportunity to delve deeply into biblical stories and reflect on them together. OnDecember 11thIt then continues with the “pilgrimage astrologers on adventurous paths”, while onDecember 18ththe “wandering Jesus” is the focus.
Thematic impulses from the Bible
The theme of the first evening takes participants into the moving story of Jacob, who has a dream while fleeing from his brother Esau. In this he sees a ladder between heaven and earth and receives God's promise: “I am with you and will protect you,” explained Margot Kässmann. This assurance offers comfort and is particularly relevant to many today who long for such certainty.
In a historical context, Jacob's story is also interpreted as a departure, similar to the Reformation over 500 years ago, which opened up new perspectives for the faith. As Kässmann notes, Wittenberg remains a place of encounter and change, where questions and spirituality are discussed - in the spirit of what the winter Bible school also strives for.
Strengthen community through shared experiences
In addition to the winter Bible school, there are many other opportunities for people in the region to actively live and deepen their faith. So offers ECC study trips offers a wide range of organized trips specifically designed for Christian groups. These trips to biblical lands like Israel are not only spiritual experiences, but also opportunities to strengthen community.
Trips to Jerusalem, the Sea of Galilee or Bethlehem are particularly popular destinations. Participants benefit from comprehensive planning and experienced tour guides who provide deeper insights into biblical history and culture. Such experiences often leave a lasting impression and can be viewed as a complement to the winter Bible school topics.
The winter Bible school will not only be an opportunity to read and exchange ideas, but also a space to grow together as a community and strengthen one another. Anyone interested is warmly invited to take part in individual evenings – no previous knowledge is required. Be there when Provost Christoph Giering and pastoral advisor Michael Wrage guide you through the inspiring topics and rediscover the biblical stories together with you!
