Newsletter Englisch Speaking United Methodist Church
October 2026
Dear members and friends of the English-Speaking United Methodist Church of Vienna,
During this time of transition, I’d like to send you another update on our upcoming worship services. The big highlight in October is once again the Harvest Festival, which we’ll celebrate on Sunday, October 18, at 11:15 a.m. I look forward to celebrating this service with you! Once again this year, we’re asking for your help on Saturday with the preparations, as well as with the special international buffet, to which we invite you in the church hall after the service. We thank everyone who provides food and drinks from around the world for that day’s congregational meal.
I wish you all a blessed fall!
