In Utrecht Oost the Christmas story comes to the streets in scenes and narratives and with Christmas music by choirs with candle flames along the designated route. In order for this…

This outline of student ministry in Utrecht is from Judith Riet (above). The new school year has started and in Utrecht that means the university and colleges have started as well. Did you know the city welcomes 15,000 new students every year? About 20% of the city population is student. Perhaps you have noticed the influx of students cycling badly, who try to get to college on time by blatantly ignoring all other traffic and…

Read the Bishop’s Christian Message or watch on youtube The nine lessons and carols service from King’s College Cambridge is listened to by millions of people all over the world.
