See below - more on w ho they are.\n\nIn community with several German-speaking congregations in Canada and the USA\, we invite you to devotions as part of the evangelica l campaign "Seven weeks without".\n\nTopic of the evangelical campaign for 2023 is: “Glowing! Seven weeks without despondency" (https://7wochenohn e.evangelisch.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 week s before Easter\, many people consciously avoid certain foods and beverage s or want to get rid of unwelcome habits. Another plan can be to gain a di fferent 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 d espair despite all the suffering and misery in the world.\n\nDevotion Outl ine:\nMusic\, Greeting\, Hymn\, Psalm of the week\, Prayer\, Scripture Rea ding\, Interpretation\, Hymn\, Intercessions\, The Lord's Prayer\, Blessin g\, Music\, Goodbyes\n\nDates and weekly topics:\nTuesdays\,\nFebruary 28\ , 2023: Topic 1: Lights on!
