Fête de l’Église 2024

On May 21 1536, the Council of Geneva pledged to “live according to the Gospel and the Word of God.”

Every year, around May 21, the Protestant Church of Geneva, organizes a Feast, also known as the “Church Assembly”, to commemorate Geneva's adhesion to the Reformation.

The theme this year is “Re-enchanting the Church”, and the celebration is in three parts:

10h We are invited to worship in the Cathédrale St. Pierre led by Laurence Mottier, moderator of the Company of Pastors, Deacons and Ministers, and Georgette Gribi. The preacher is Antoine Nouis of the United Protestant Church of France.

11h30–13h30 – Aperitif and Canadian buffet
In the Cour Saint-Pierre, we return to the evangelical principle of sharing. Everyone is invited to bring a savoury or sweet dish that will be made available to all (pot luck). Aperitifs and drinks will be offered.

13h30–15h30 “The Church in song”. Poetry and music in the Cathedral, with Vincent Thévenaz Lorianne Cherpillod, Étienne Sommer and the Come On Gospel Quartet.
