A Bonus Sunday: Day at the Zoo
Every now and then, the calendar gives us a gift: a month with five Sundays.
We like to treat that fifth Sunday as a “bonus day.” Instead of our usual service with worship and a sermon, we switch gears completely. We leave the building behind to do something fun, relaxing, and totally different.
Think of it as a deep breath for our community.
What We Are Doing
For this Community Day, we are heading to the Tierpark in Bern. It is a great chance to walk around, see the animals, and enjoy being outside together.
Later in the afternoon, for those who want to stick around, we will head into the city to catch a movie at a local cinema. We will pick the specific movie and showtime once we get closer to the date.
The Plan for Food
We want to keep this simple and relaxed.
-
If the sun is shining: We will fire up the public grill inside the park. Everyone will bring something to grill and possibly something to share (chips, snacks, dessert, fruit, drink).
-
If the weather is gray: Please pack your own picnic lunch.
We will keep an eye on the forecast and let you know which way it looks like it’s going.
You Are Invited
This day is open to absolutely everyone.
You don’t need to be a member of Hope Church. You don’t need to be religious. You don’t even need to know anyone yet. In fact, if you have been hesitant to visit on a normal Sunday, this is the easiest way to meet us. There is no pressure and no agenda.
So, come hang out. Bring your family, bring a friend, or just bring yourself. We’d love to get to know you.
