What’s new at IPC
November 2026
Sunday Worship will be at 11:15 as usual with Pastor Phil bringing a message entitled “Be Blessed”, based upon the lectionary reading from the Gospel of Matthew. Holy Communion will be served this All Saints Day.
Sunday School lessons resumed last Sunday. What a joy it is to have children worshipping with us again and to have volunteers ready to teach them. Classes will continue on the 2nd and 4th Sundays of the month so next on 8 November. They are intended for children in the general age range of elementary school though pre-school children are welcome as well. Classes will start after the anthem on these two Sundays so that children can also participate in the Worship experience.
Our annual Harvest Auction last Sunday was a big success with €870 raised via cash and bank transfers for goodies won to take home. A huge thanks to all who donated items for the auction and, of course, to those who bid so enthusiastically. All proceeds will go to Oasis, our mission of the month for October, supplementing the funds raised through the offering plate, transfers to the missions account and direct transfers to Oasis.
Some roadworks remain in the neighborhood but detours are marked so the church is easily accessible by car and the 41 bus is running as usual.
Our Wednesday evening Bible study continues while the in-person Bible study, on Tuesday evenings will be taking short break but will resume on 17 November.

Our Life at IPC
Welcome!
The International Protestant Church of Brussels is an inclusive church, welcoming all!!
We have a full program of Choir, Worship, and Fellowship every Sunday, with special events held throughout the year. There are also a variety of educational and fellowship events every week. 
Children’s Sunday School is available as needed — children and their teacher leave for Sunday School immediately following the Anthem.
Women of the Church meetings are held monthly on a Saturday morning. Watch the website or the Weekend Watch email for details!
Men of the Church meet, usually on the last Saturday of the month, for breakfast.
A weekly Bible Study is held on Zoom on Wednesday evenings.
We celebrated our 100th anniversary in 2023. Our congregation began with a series of meetings in 1922, ending in the laying of a cornerstone on November 9, 1923, at a church on the Champs de Mars in downtown Brussels. We are excited to begin our second century!
Mission of the Month
October 2026
Oasis Welkom Project
Inspired by the life, teaching, and example of Jesus Christ, the purpose of Oasis is to transform communities, and to work with people who are vulnerable and excluded from community.
The Oasis Welkom Project has been one of our mission projects for many years. In the past our donations have helped cover the cost of maintaining a helpline, printing safety-plan flyers, offering language classes in French and initiating support groups for women who have been victims of human trafficking and/or domestic violence. These are all on-going activities.
Many of the beneficiaries are women from Thailand and other Southeast Asian countries. However, within the past two years, there has been a significant increase in the number of Portuguese and Spanish speaking women coming to Oasis for help, particularly trans women who are often trapped in prostitution…
