Do kids need to speak German?

No. The service and songs are in German, but kids can carry a lantern and walk with the group without understanding a word.

Is it a church service?

It opens with a short devotion about St. Martin, led by the Dahlem parish and accompanied by its brass ensemble. The lantern walk follows.

It is outdoors on a November evening, so bring warm layers and a hat.
