Deutsche Kirche

Congratulations to Dagmar and Ralph Purves who celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary/ Goldene Hochzeit!!! You are pillars of the German community in San Diego and beyond. BTW they got married in St. Johannis Hamburg-Eppendorf (2 miles away from Pastor Karin's First Call) by Pastor E. Körber (whom PK knew) - small world...

Beautiful Celebration of Life for Barbara Bischof, Old World, Huntington Beach. Grateful for all the love and support for her husband Bern and sons Mark and Matthaeus. Such a privilege to be part of the German community in Southern California! - R.I.P. Barbara, and may God's love surround you eternally.

Happy New Year and many blessings to all our friends close and far!

An absolute wonderful Christmas Eve service last night - yes, there will be peace following justice and righteousness. And it all starts with you and me... Was wäre der Heilige Abend ohne Stille Nacht auf deutsch? Ein wunderbarer Gottesdienst! Don't miss it next year!!!

Early this morning, one of the giants of the German community in San Diego, Ewald Rudat, followed his beloved wife and passed peacefully into the rising light. He lived an extraordinary life and will be greatly missed. May God's love surround all of his family and friends. RIP Ewald

Please keep the Rudat-family in your prayers while Ewald is preparing to follow his beloved wife Berta.

Let the reformation continue and the celebrations begin: it started with beliefs now behavior matters; it was about what the church believes, now it is about what the church does... Let us take a stand and make a point!

Allen ein gesegnetes Pfingstfest!
