The chapel and prayer rooms
MF has three rooms specially designed for worship and fellowship, silence and prayer. A chapel, a silent prayer room and a room open to faith and thought.
The chapel is located on the ground floor. Every weekday there is a devotional or church service in the chapel at 10.00. Both students and staff participate.
These gatherings are MF's regular heartbeat. The gatherings in the chapel last 15 minutes and are led by students, teachers and student chaplains.
Just as the students and staff at MF come from many different traditions, the days in the chapel also have different character.
- Monday: Prayer and worship. Preferably led by a group of students.
- Tuesday: A short communion service, usually led by one of the priests working at MF.
- Wednesday: Devotional, Small Sunday, hymn service or something completely different. Wednesday is freer in form and the leader decides the form and content.
- Thursday: A short church service with a sermon. This is often led by deaconry or theology students.
- Friday: Morning prayer. We pray together with the Bible's own texts as the starting point for the prayer. The morning prayer is led by student priests, teachers or students.

A warm welcome!
Open prayer rooms
The chapel is open throughout MF's opening hours. You can come in here and pray and light candles at any time. Or maybe you want to play the piano, sing with someone - or just be in the silence? Just pop in.
MF also has two other rooms that are open all the time:
- On the 3rd floor you'll find The Round Chapel. A chapel for silence and prayer in the Christian tradition. Here you will find suggestions for prayers you can pray, the opportunity to light candles or just sit in silence.
- Downstairs, you'll find the neutral Room for Faith and Thought. An open space with the opportunity to pray or seek silence and peace - regardless of your faith.
Welcome to MF!
Here there is room for all of you - life and faith.
