We invite you to join with others for a local “watch party” of The Courage to Love worship service livestream from Zurich on 29 May 2025.
It will showcase music of Anabaptists from around the world and will include a joint statement of reconciliation between MWC and the World Communion of Reformed Churches.
Download the poster. Write in the location and time for your viewing party.
Starting at 17:00 local time (CEST), the worship service will take place in the morning for the Americas, early evening in Africa, and later in the evening and into the night as you head east into Asia.”
The livestream video can be accessed after the event, so you can hold your watch party later in the day or even a few days after.
