A worship service that connects heart and memory
On September 26, 2026, a special faith experience for people with and without dementia will take place at the Petruskirche Neu-Ulm. The ecumenical worship service invites all into a calm, appreciative, and familiar spiritual atmosphere, where prayer, liturgy, and community are at the center.
A space for dignity, closeness, and reflection
The service is aimed at those seeking a gentle form of religious experience. The celebration connects Christian hope with a sensitive view of life paths, memory, and the present. This creates a moment of true spiritual community, especially for relatives, caregivers, and congregation members.
The Petruskirche as a familiar place
The Petruskirche belongs to the Evangelical-Lutheran parish of Neu-Ulm and has provided a barrier-free access via an elevator for years. The church space was extensively renovated in 2015/16, and the Petrus hall and community rooms were reorganized and expanded. As a result, the location feels open, clear, and inviting for visits with different needs.
Celebrated with sensitivity to dementia
The event is part of the Bavarian Dementia Week 2026 and aligns with efforts towards a dementia-friendly community in Neu-Ulm. The city promotes encounters, exchange, and participation so that people with dementia can engage in social life as independently as possible for as long as possible. This attitude also shapes this worship service.
Arrive, participate, be accompanied
The ecumenical character makes the celebration particularly open and welcoming. Participants will experience a service that does not rely on performance or language skills, but on closeness, trust, and the power of shared symbols. The atmosphere in the Petruskirche supports a calm, respectful approach to the celebration.
Conclusion: A quiet highlight of Dementia Week
Those who wish to experience a sensitive service with spiritual depth, a sense of community, and practical accessibility will find a special event here. The Petruskirche provides a dignified setting for this. It is best to be there live and experience this special moment of connection yourself.
