Songs and bells ringing from the tape, the pastor on the tractor trailer: For the third time, the Christmas service rolls through a congregation near Bremen.
A pastor in Stuhr near Bremen held his Christmas service on Christmas Eve on the trailer of a tractor. For the third time, the team, decorated for Christmas, drove to four stations in town for a twenty-minute prayer service. Pastor Robert Vetter read the biblical Christmas story and gave a short sermon. Songs and bells came off the tape. The trailer, a former mobile forest hut, was decked out as a crib.
In the corona pandemic, the pastor had the idea of having an outdoor service because of the distance regulations. The rolling service has already enjoyed great popularity in the past two years. Despite the rain and cool temperatures, many people combined a walk with the service on Saturday. Children and confirmands were among the visitors, some had brought folding chairs.
