Ma rk you calendars: February 28\, 2023\, March 7\, 2003\, March 14\, 2023\, March 21\, 2023\, March 28\, 2023\, and April 4\, 2023. Contact the church office for the ZOOM link.\n\nAn action by DELKINA (German Evangelical Lut heran Conference in North America / www.delkina.org). See below - more on who they are.\n\nIn community with several German-speaking congregations i n Canada and the USA\, we invite you to devotions as part of the evangelic al campaign "Seven weeks without".\n\nTopic of the evangelical campaign fo r 2023 is: “Glowing! Seven weeks without despondency" (https://7wochenoh ne.evangelisch.de/)\n\nIt is a good opportunity to reflect on the importan t things in life. It can help to make something specific. In the seven wee ks before Easter\, many people consciously avoid certain foods and beverag es or want to get rid of unwelcome habits. Another plan can be to gain a d ifferent view of your own life or of your fellow human beings. For example \, noticing the glow in yourself or in others and the good reasons not to despair despite all the suffering and misery in the world.\n\nDevotion Out line:\nMusic\, Greeting\, Hymn\, Psalm of the week\, Prayer\, Scripture Re ading\, Interpretation\, Hymn\, Intercessions\, The Lord's Prayer\, Blessi ng\, Music\, Goodbyes\n\nDates and weekly topics:\nTuesdays\,\nFeb 28\, 20 23: Topic 1: Lights on!
