(de) Gottesdienste

Our beautiful fortified church is a living place that invites people once a month to a protestant service according to the Transylvanian liturgy. Adapted to today’s times, the service is about three quarters in German (hymns, scripture reading, sermon, blessing, prayer), but it also includes elements that involve our Romanian-speaking neighbours and members of the congregation. The Scripture reading, a summary of the sermon, and the blessing are also given in Romanian.
