Church Life

For Kids

Krümelgruppe

In the Krümelgruppe, toddlers from birth to pre-school age meet every Friday (except during holidays) from 10.30 a.m. to 12.30 p.m. in the Lutherhaus. It is a space for playing together, for meeting, sharing over a cup of coffee or tea. Come along!

Dienstagsmaler

Every Tuesday (except during the holidays), the Dienstagsmaler meet from 3.30 to 5.30 p.m. in the Lutherhaus. A creative group with singing, handicrafts and games for children of pre-school or primary school age. We look forward to welcoming new creative minds!

For Grown-Ups

Deutscher Kaffeemorgen

Every Tuesday at 10.30 a.m. (except during the holidays), the Deutscher Kaffeemorgen is a meeting place for all those who speak and learn German. Over coffee, tea and small pastries, there are lectures and discussions on different, but always exciting topics (culture, religion, politics, history, etc.).

Women's Group

The women's group meets on the last Wednesday of every month at 7 pm: a get-together to get to know each other, have fun, exchange ideas, find support and develop projects. We are happy to welcome all newcomers!

Every Sunday at 11 a.m. we celebrate our eucharist service in the traditional form in German at St. Finian's Church in Dublin. On the last Sunday of the month, the service is held in English. In addition to the traditional form, we also celebrate family services and services in other forms (see the calendar for more information).

With our English speaking SundayNight@StFinians service we offer an additional mid-month service at 5 p.m. on Sunday evenings. It is a worship space for different kinds of liturgy.
