The Greifswald congregation experienced a special service on March 8, 2025. It was a “real Sabbath”, as was remarked by one visitor, as all stores were closed due to the public holiday on the International Women’s Day in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania  and the streets were also unusually quiet in the morning - and in the most glorious spring weather.
This made the Adventist Church all the more lively. In the morning, there was a varied service with praise and prayers, thoughts on the Women's World Day of Prayer and International Women's Day, very good and varied music, and a sermon by Angelika Zettelmann on the topic of “Emotions in the Bible”. The theme of the sermon,  'Feelings in the Bible' ran practically and musically throughout the entire day. The church hall was very well filled in the morning with over 60 people in attendance.
After a fellowship lunch, there was a varied program for the 34 women who stayed for the afternoon part. After cheerful songs, including a newly learned one on the annual motto for 2025, the sermon topic was discussed in a group session using concrete everyday examples. The women enjoyed this joint exchange of ideas on feelings.
Later, a young dance teacher gave a 30-minute workshop to loosen up the muscles and keep the joints fit, as well as coordination exercises for body and mind, all to music that got faster and faster. This is also part of our feelings and the women had a lot of fun moving.
After an official conclusion with thanks to God for the blessed day and the distribution of self-designed cards by Alexandra Bahrmann from the Greifswald congregation as a small greeting, the richly laid-out cake buffet was opened. This was the last item on the program.
