Discussion group "precious" in the Tersteegenplatz community centre. This meeting takes place once a month on Wednesdays from 3.00 pm. For more information on dates and topics, please contact: Volker Busch, Tel. 43 41 67 or volker.busch[at]ekir.de.

Literature meeting read - tell stories - enjoy: Every Wednesday from 3.00 pm or 6.00 pm. Detailed information on topics and dates can be found further down at the end of this article under ‘Dates’.

Cultural meeting at the Jonakirche To complete this programme, people interested in culture meet every first Thursday (sometimes the second Thursday is possible due to public holidays) of the quarter in the Jonakirche in Lohausen. After a short devotion, the programme items for the coming quarter are presented, followed by a joint lunch prepared by the group itself. It is highly recommended that you attend the quarterly meetings, as many activities are only organised with registration. Even if most of the participants are ‘museum-age’ because they are retired, interested people of all ages who have time on the dates listed in the programme are very welcome. Public transport or the occasional car will be used. After each excursion, the ‘opportunity to stop off together’ is a popular reward for the participants.
The Anneliese Dautermann/Gisela Wildner team and Kerstin and Karl Döhler are happy to receive suggestions for new programme items. Please note! Registration is based on the time of receipt (telephone, possibly AB) Registration and further information: Kerstin and Karl Döhler, Tel. 40 24 34

Ecumenical prayer based on the Taizé tradition

Not only will the well-known songs from Taizé be sung, but the texts and prayers will also address the questions that concern us in our private, church and social lives. The devotions are organised ecumenically and alternately by the Kaiserswerth Sisterhood, women from the Catholic Women's Community in Kaiserswerth and the Protestant parish of Kaiserswerth.
Each service begins at 6.00 pm. A devotion lasts approx. 35 minutes. Every 3rd Wednesday of each month in the Mutterhauskirche in Kaiserswerth. For further information please contact: Pastor Ulrike Heimann, Tel. 200 73 54.

Cycle on Saturdays! - Exercise is good for you, outdoor exercise is even better and more enjoyable!

This offer is aimed at anyone who would like to cycle in a group in the local area. Depending on the length of the tour and the destination, you can stop for refreshments on the way and at the end, or provide your own food and drink.
