See below - more on who they are.\n\nIn community with several German-speaking congregations in Canada and the USA\, we invite you to devotions as part of the evangelical campai gn "Seven weeks without".\n\nTopic of the evangelical campaign for 2023 is : “Glowing! Seven weeks without despondency" (https://7wochenohne.evange lisch.de/)\n\nIt is a good opportunity to reflect on the important things in life. It can help to make something specific. In the seven weeks before Easter\, many people consciously avoid certain foods and beverages or wan t to get rid of unwelcome habits. Another plan can be to gain a different view of your own life or of your fellow human beings. For example\, notici ng the glow in yourself or in others and the good reasons not to despair d espite all the suffering and misery in the world.\n\nDevotion Outline:\nMu sic\, Greeting\, Hymn\, Psalm of the week\, Prayer\, Scripture Reading\, I nterpretation\, Hymn\, Intercessions\, The Lord's Prayer\, Blessing\, Musi c\, Goodbyes\n\nDates and weekly topics:\nTuesdays\,\nFeb 28\, 2023: Topic 1: Lights on!
