Weekly Invite – Palm Sunday – 25 March
Family Sunday: Every other last Sunday, we designate as Family Sunday to celebrate our time together as a church family.

Join us as we experience the impact of Jesus’ life on many and on us. "Perspective Changes Everything" - To listen to and read Philipp Meinecke's
The Significance of Holy Week
Palm Sunday begins what we call “Holy Week.” To understand the significance of this week, let's summarize the bare facts of the three major events in the ministry of Jesus just prior to his resurrection. Each of the three is heavily loaded with irony. 1) Palm Sunday celebrates Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem. He comes to people who think he is the deliverer with great worldly power to set the Romans back on their heels (a Clint Eastwood type Messiah). “He’s the
Perspective Changes Everything
by Philipp Meinecke Perspective is a funny thing, isn’t it? At least, it can be at times. Get two people together and have them share their perspective on any given issue and things can turn from humorous to frightfully divisive real quick.

Fasching: All About Munich’s Biggest Carnival
"When other countries of the world celebrate “carnival“, in Munich "Fasching" is celebrated. “Fasching“ comes from the medieval word “vaschnc“, in present-day German “Fastnacht“ and relates to the fasting period, which begins immediately after Fasching and is what we know as Lent. Munich’s Fasching has its origins in the dancing and pageantry which accompanied economical changes, as well as changes in the customs and festivities themselves, the tradition of Fasching remains to date. Up until the beginning of the 19th century
Where’s the Power?
Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
