Welcome to the English-Speaking United Methodist Church

Join us on Saturday 21 February for a one-day spiritual retreat to bless our Lenten journey, led by Father Elias Carr, an author and priest at the Klosterneuburg Abbey speaking on the theme “Envy, Violence, and Scapegoats.” This event is sponsored by the ecumenical English-speaking community in Vienna, and will be hosted by ESUMC in our sanctuary. Arrival for the day shall begin at 10:00, and the program shall end at 14:30. See below for event and registration details.

Join us in worship in this season of Lent, as we prepare for the festival of Holy Week and Easter.

“Amazing Grace!” We sing about God blessing us with love and grace in a well-known hymn. It speaks of trust instead of fear, of life instead of death. We believe that grace works. But how? And above all: How do I experience it in my life? During Lent, you are invited to reflect upon this theme along with other members of the UMC throughout Austria in a special Bible study starting Tuesday 24 February.

ESUMC music director Marilyn Brandl invites members and friends to share their talents on Saturday 28 February, and to bring a finger food for the meal following the event.
