Invitation for Racial Justice Sunday December13th

Dear Maisha members  and friends of the African community,

we would like to invite you to our 10th Racial Justice Sunday which is again going to take place at DREIFALTIGKEITSKIRCHE

FUNKSTRASSE 18. 60486 FRANKFURT/M: (DIRECTION REBSTOCKBAD) on Sunday, December 13^th at 12 p.m. You can reach us with Straßenbahn/TRAM NR. 17 from the main train station Stop at LEONARDO DA VINCI.

As it is the tradition of Maisha to end the year with prayers the Racial Justice Sunday is going to take place in remembrance of our brothers and sisters who have lost their beloved once or  have been victims of racial attacks in Germany and Europe. We want to show our solidarity to their family and friends. We also give people the chance to ask for a personal prayer or to remember somebody by placing a stone or lightening a candle by the altar.

There will be a special program for victims of racial discrimination from all over Germany. The program will start one day in advance and we have invited specialists for this task. Please contact us in time for travel arrangements.

At the same time it is a unity Sunday and we use the opportunity to share together a common church service of different African religions, cultures and countries. We will pray to God to give us the power to work together and support each other in the future more effectively. There will be a lively joint church service with African pastors from different African Churches (Christian and Muslim pastors are invited) and countries as well as German pastors. This year we have also invited politicians, who will speak about integration and our situation in Germany. We will also have African gospel singers, drummers and African Food and drinks. The program and the food is free (no entry fee) but we would appreciate if you would give a small donation.

We take this opportunity to thank all of you for your continuing support for Maisha, and your solidarity with each other within the African community.

Please come and tell all your friends about this big event for which last year we had 300 Africans from 30 different African countries living in Europe attending.

MAISHA e.V. would like to wish all friends and families a happy and very prosperous year 2010.
