“Is it a beacon?” a child’s voice once echoed outside De Lichtkring. Indeed, De Lichtkring, radiating a sense of welcome, has served as a spiritual beacon for many since 1995. Every Sunday, its doors open at 10:00 a.m., inviting all to a Protestant church service. You can feel the energy shift as the community gathers. Pastor Ruud ter Beek often leads the service, offering words of inspiration and guidance. Even if you can’t attend in person, De Lichtkring embraces technology. Their services are streamed live, allowing a wider audience to connect with their message. For those who miss the live broadcast, the services can be found later on kerkdienstgemist.nl. Beyond Sunday services, De Lichtkring fosters community in other ways. The Upstream Café Schothorst, held bi-weekly on Sunday afternoons at the nearby Regenboog primary school, provides a more informal gathering space. Starting at 4:00 p.m., attendees watch videos, listen to music, share stories, and discuss important life themes. This offers a sense of connection and support, strengthening the bonds within the community. De Lichtkring’s commitment to inclusivity and accessibility truly embodies its name, “The Circle of Light,” drawing people together in a shared quest for meaning and belonging.
