Worship Resources

It has become quite common for congregations to worship in two languages. Binational weddings, international youth camps, ecumenical gatherings and town twinnings are occasions which call for the use of bilingual liturgical material and the singing of hymns in English and German. The following links provide a selection of bilingual worship resources.

We are grateful for further contributions to our collection of worship resources which may be sent to amerika@ekd.de
