Blessed Pentecost

At Pentecost we as a Christian community celebrate our unity in diversity!

For God has not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind (2 Timothy 1,7)

After many weeks of lock down we again started  today on Pentecost Sunday to open our churches and to celebrate our Services – but with strict hygienic conditions.

During this times of lock down  the church bells rang every evening at 7:30 pm; we lit a candle and prayed in different languages. As the Corona Pandemic is still a challenge for all of us around the world and people are still suffering not only from the Virus but also from hunger, unemployment, isolation and loneliness we are asked for continous prayer.  But we will do it now in our services.

Our common prayer will still be available in 29 languages under the following link: TOGETHER

Still praying together – today KISUAHELI

The Corona Pandemic is still a challenge for all of us around the world. People are suffering not only from the Virus but also from hunger, unemployment, isolation and loneliness because of the worldwide lockdown. We continue to pray in the evening at 7:30 pm when the church bells are ringing; we light a candle and put it in the window thinking of the people suffering from the crisis. Our prayer is now available in 29 languages.

As we are once through we start again sending our prayer into the world: today to our Kisuaheli speaking sisters and brothers!

TOGETHER – a prayer around the world – today in memory of Dietrich Bonhoeffer

We pray it in the evening, when at 7:30 pm in Germany the bells ring and we light a candle, put it in the window and today we especially think on Dietrich Bonhoeffer who was killed by the Nazis in the concentration camp Flossenbürg 75 years back. His resistance against the Nazi Regime and his theology had an great impact to the ecumenical movement. We send the prayer out into the world: We may be separated spatially, but we are spiritually united.
