ANNIVERSARY
12 August - 04 September 2022
Dear guests,
We celebrated the 100th anniversary of our chapel at the castle, which was inaugurated in 1922. From 12 August to 04 September 22 we had 4 celebration weekends! There was something for children, young people and adults. During the day there were various catering options. In the evenings there was a bar. We were delighted with the many guests!
You are also welcome to visit us after our party. Here you will find information about us as a church.
Your Viva Kirche Liestal
P.S.: Until 04 Sept. 22 we were called Chrischona-Gemeinde Liestal
Timber construction world
Build, build, build
12-14 August
Together, we immersed ourselves in 80,000 wooden blocks of the HolzBauWelt and built metre-high towers, houses, a stadium, a scorpion, etc. There were no limits to the imagination! Creative, unique buildings and works of art were erected through playful teamwork. During the building breaks, exciting stories with building experiences from the Bible were told. Naturally, this varied programme was accompanied by a delicious snack and lunch.
On the final Sunday, the buildings could be admired at a vernissage. One of the highlights was the collapse of the buildings, which was particularly celebrated in the case of the tower, which was over 5 metres high.
BURG CUP 2022
Töggeli tournament
Sat 20 August
The Töggeli tournament for young and old is unfortunately already over. It was great!
The game was played in teams of two in two categories: Age groups or mixed (child / adult). Some started the tournament in a playful and relaxed manner, others were highly focussed. The atmosphere was great. Two challenge cups were awarded after the finals.
Next year we will be back at the start with the Burg Cup! The exact date is still to be determined.
Family service
with SandART
Sunday, 21 August 2022.
In this family service, Frank Bigler led us through the life of Jesus Christ with pictures of sand. Frank Bigler drew his birth, the wise men from the East and Jesus' life and death in the colourfully backlit sand. Of course, Jesus' resurrection was not to be missed. The whole event was accompanied by texts based on the Gospels of the New Testament and songs.
Concert
vooi's choir
Fri 26 August 2022
It was a premiere: the vooi's choir with singers from Liestal and the surrounding area gave a full-length concert! Anna Gosteli, the director and conductor, got everything out of the individual voices. I was particularly impressed by the song that was rehearsed for hours especially for this evening - chicken skin!
It was a very successful evening with a great atmosphere for the choir and everyone in the audience. Afterwards, we rounded off the evening with meetings and conversations, snacks, coffee, cola or Cüpli.
Candle making
Sat 27 August - as part of the 100th anniversary celebrations
It was a wonderful experience, candle making for children and adults in warmer temperatures and sunshine. The next candle making event is sure to come! We are planning to organise another one in the last weekend of October. On our Community homepage we will inform you about this.
Worship Night
Sat 27 August 2022
Worshiping God, honouring HIM and meeting HIM - that's what the Worship Night was all about.
Church service with Zoë Bee
Sun 28 August
Zoë Bee gave an impressive account of her life: 28 moves, three marriages, her immersion in esotericism and finally her path to Jesus Christ. Another topic was the similarities and differences between esotericism and the Christian faith. After the service, Zoë Bee was available for discussions and signed her books.
Here you can listen to the MP3 of Talk and Input by Zoë Bee.
THE festival weekend
From 02-04 September we had THE festival weekend as the highlight!
With Festivities and many activities for young and old as well as various
Catering stands.
Theatre/Comedy
Drama Ltd.
Fri 02 September
Beat Müller and Peter Wild present their second gospel comedy theatre show following the success of "FischAugä". Their humorous and thought-provoking portrayal of the story of Jesus Christ opened up completely new perspectives for those who know and those who do not yet know the events of that time. Beat Müller (Levi/Matthew) and Peter Wild (Thomas) portrayed two of Jesus' disciples, with their feelings and thoughts, just as we often do - but don't always admit it to ourselves. Exciting!
Ponycycle
Sat 03 September and Sun 04 September
Fun for children and adults. There are ponies for small, medium and large people - up to 120 kg body weight!
Human Soccer
Sat 03 September and Sun 04 September
