Our Book Club meets again on Zoom on 30 April. This month we're reading 'The Old King in His Exile' by Arno Geiger.
What makes us who we are? Arno Geiger's father was never an easy man to know and when he developed Alzheimer's, Arno realised he was not going to ask for help. 'As my father can no longer cross the bridge into my world, I have to go over to his.' So Arno sets out on a journey to get to know him at last. Born in 1926 in the Austrian Alps, into a farming family who had an orchard, kept three cows, and made schnapps in the cellar, his father was conscripted into World War II as a 'schoolboy soldier' – an experience he rarely spoke about, though it marked him. Striking up a new friendship, Arno walks with him in the village and the landscape they both grew up in and listens to his words, which are often full of unexpected poetry.
Through his intelligent, moving and often funny account, we begin to see that whatever happens in old age, a human being retains their past and their character. Translated into nearly 30 languages, The Old King in His Exile will offer solace and insight to anyone coping with a loved one's aging.
Our annual meeting, where we receive reports, elect members to the Chaplaincy Council, and look ahead to the coming year. The meeting will be immediately followed by a brief meeting of the Chaplaincy Council.
Our Prayer Shawl Ministry group meets again in Hürtgenwald on Saturday 14 June from 10am to 4pm.
This powerful ecumenical ministry and spiritual practice reaches out to those in need of comfort and solace, as well as in celebration and joy.
Prayer shawl ministry groups can be found all over the world. They knit or crochet shawls to console those who are grieving, comfort those who are ill, and bring hope to those in despair. Shawls may also be made to celebrate life and its milestones.
Many blessings are prayed into every stitch.
Please pray for our knitters and their work, and the people who will receive the gifts of this ministry of compassion.
