Welcome to our Evening Prayer at St. Mary and St. Ursula Hidden Church in Delft on Sunday, 26 January. In the sacred stillness of this historic sanctuary, we will reflect and find inspiration in the timeless wisdom of the Bible. Our Old Testament reading will center on the story of Elijah, offering us profound insights into faith, perseverance, and divine guidance. Reverend Timon Idema will lead the service, guiding us as we share thoughts and reflections on how these ancient truths continue to illuminate our lives today. Come as you are, and join us for a peaceful and enriching evening of prayer, reflection, and community.
