See below - more on who they are.\ n\nIn community with several German-speaking congregations in Canada and t he USA\, we invite you to devotions as part of the evangelical campaign "S even weeks without".\n\nTopic of the evangelical campaign for 2023 is: “ Glowing! Seven weeks without despondency" (https://7wochenohne.evangelisch .de/)\n\nIt is a good opportunity to reflect on the important things in li fe. It can help to make something specific. In the seven weeks before East er\, many people consciously avoid certain foods and beverages or want 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\, noticing th e glow in yourself or in others and the good reasons not to despair despit e all the suffering and misery in the world.\n\nDevotion Outline:\nMusic\, Greeting\, Hymn\, Psalm of the week\, Prayer\, Scripture Reading\, Interp retation\, Hymn\, Intercessions\, The Lord's Prayer\, Blessing\, Music\, G oodbyes\n\nDates and weekly topics:\nTuesdays\,\nFeb 28\, 2023: Topic 1: L ights on!
