Huge crowd at the family service on the Gehilfersberg!
Whit Monday on the Gehilfersberg was a real highlight for the community. Reported with a big smile Rhön Canal that the family service was well attended. Many believers from Hünfeld, the Fuldaer Land, the Geisaer Amt and the Bad Hersfeld region have set out to come together on this special day. The enthusiasm was so great that some participants could not find a place.
The service was musically accompanied by the talented Rasdorf project choir, who sang Pentecost songs in full voice. This not only gave believers the opportunity to sing along, but also created a festive atmosphere. The preparation of the service was the responsibility of the dedicated Rasdorf family service team, who ensured that everything went smoothly.
Content of the sermon
The sermon was given by Pastor Andreas Matthäi and referred to the song “God's Spirit Breaks Over Us”. Matthäi spoke about the centrality of faith and the challenges that believers face. His appeal to take faith seriously and to use the Holy Spirit as support was well received by those present.
He particularly emphasized the importance of having a positive influence on the environment and encouraged believers to take action. These words were heard and made people think.
A feast for the senses
After the service there were homemade muffins and refreshing drinks - a welcome refreshment for the participants. The anticipation of such social moments is particularly great on holidays and festivals. The invitation poster that addressed visitors was designed by Maria Budenz and contributed to the welcoming atmosphere of the festival.
Those interested can find further information about Pentecost, its meaning and divine aspects on platforms such as kinderkirche.de read about the materials on the children's church and on celebrating church services.

It also shows that the desire for ecumenical services at Pentecost has increased significantly in recent decades. The Diocese of Speyer, together with the Evangelical Church of the Palatinate, has published a working aid that addresses the diversity of liturgical traditions and the connection of the Holy Spirit with the unity of the church. With different service models and offers for different age groups, the ecumenical celebration becomes an experience for all generations.
Overall, Whit Monday on the Gehilfersberg was a moving example of community and faith that will remain in the memory of the participants. Let us be inspired to carry and pass on the light of faith in everyday life.
