Afternoons open for community gatherings and social interaction
Warmth, Community, and Fellowship: Open Afternoons in Pforzheim's Churches This Winter
As the winter chill settles in Pforzheim, many residents are finding it difficult to keep warm and cope with feelings of loneliness. However, there's a glimmer of hope in the form of open afternoons hosted by various churches across the city.
Starting from the 7th of January 2024, these open afternoons will provide a much-needed respite, offering free warm meals, conversation, and fellowship. The first one takes place in Eutingen at 12:30 PM, followed by another at the Evangelisch-methodistische Church on the 14th of January at 1 PM.
On the 21st of January, the Vesperkirche will reopen in the Stadtkirche Pforzheim, and from then until the 18th of February, you can find warmth and companionship there. The next open afternoon after that will be on the 25th of February 2024, at the Evangelisch-Lutherische Gemeinde.
The open afternoon on the 3rd of March 2024 will take place at St. Antonius, and on the 17th of March, you can visit the Caritasverband for an open afternoon starting at noon. The series of open afternoons concludes on the 10th of March 2024, at the Neuapostolische Kirche Brötzingen.
It's important to note that the Arbeitsgemeinschaft Christlicher Gemeinden (ACG) is organising these open afternoons, including a special one on Christmas Eve at the Diakonie Pforzheim in the Haus der Evangelischen Kirche, starting at 1:30 PM.
For those seeking exact times and locations, it's recommended to contact local Christian churches in Pforzheim or visit their websites or community bulletin boards. Churches often announce their fellowship and outreach event schedules locally or on-site.
While specific search results for the schedule of these programs were not readily available, it's typical for Christian churches to offer such programs during the winter months. So, if you're feeling the winter blues, remember that there's a warm and welcoming community waiting for you at these open afternoons.
Engage in a warmer lifestyle this winter by attending home-and-garden style gatherings at various churches, offering more than just fellowship. Check out social media pages or contact local Christian churches in Pforzheim for entertainment updates on these events, turning your usual winter routine into an extraordinary experience.
