KARFREITAG GOTTESDIENST -
GOOD FRIDAY SERVICES IN GERMAN! Holy Cross Lutheran Church of Wartburg, IL, located at 5765 Maeystown Road, Waterloo, IL 62298 will hold the Good Friday Service in the German language on April 7, 2023 at 10:00 a.m. The Reverend Darwin Schrader will be serving as guest preacher and Reverend Lyle Buettner will serve as liturgist. The liturgy and hymns will be printed in German. The Holy Cross Lutheran Ladies Aid will serve a luncheon after the service. (Free will offering for luncheon) The community is invited. Holy Cross was founded by German immigrants in 1841. A German Good Friday service has been held annually, except for the Covid years - 2020 and 2021. For more information contact Pastor Dan Ostlund. Church office phone 618-939-7094. Email: hcwartb@htc.net orArlene Baum (618-340-2471). We hope to see you and your friends at the German service. Note: Rev. Schrader has been preaching at this service for many years. Rev. Lyle Buettner is a son of Holy Cross and is now pastor at St. Paul, New Athens. Lyle has served as liturgist for many years. TRIVIA: GOTTESDIENST... Translating the word it means God's Service. Many think of it as man's service, duty, to God, but that is wrong. Gottesdienst means God's service, God's gift, to man. Wolfgang Petry - improve your German with Schalgers! Wolfgang Petry is one of Germany's most beloved Schlager singers. Catchy singable tunes that are great for anyone who wants to improve their German. Sing along with Wolfgang! "Du gehoerst zu mir und ich gehoer zu dir!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJTMwZX1uF8 Thanks to Mark Hoffman for sharing! |

BIERSEGNET
LASS UNS BETEN: Segne, O Herr, dieses Kreatur Bier Daß du aus dem Fett des Getreides hergestellt hast, Daß es ein heilsames Mittel für Menschheit sein kann Und gibt durch die Anrufung deines heiligen Namens, Daß jeder, der ihn trinkt, Gesundheir des Kőrpers Und Frieden in der Seele erlangt, In Namen des Christus. Amen. - courtesy Msgr. Michael Witt, member St. Louis Stammtisch |

KARFREITAG GOTTESDIENST -
Several Members of Stammtisch attend Good Friday Services every year at Holy Cross Lutheran Church in Wartburg, IL. The church. On Good Friday, each year, the congregation celebrates their Lower German (Plattdeutsch) ancestors by having a German language service. Formerly, the services were in Plattdeutsch, but nowadays the more recognized Hochdeutsch is used (mostly because it is hard to find Lutheran pastors who speak the lower dialect anymore - at least ones that are in this area). After the service, lunch is provided for free with a donation asked. Other than the Christmas service at Peace Lutheran in South St Louis County each year, German language services are very hard to find. Schade! |

About Us / Über uns
St. Louis Stammtisch is a group of people who want to have fun while speaking German as we try to solve the world's problems.
Wissenswertes
1. Over 40% of Americans have a German in their past, shouldn't German really be our national language!
2. Did you know that President Ronald Reagan proclaimed 6. October as German-American Day? German Reunification Day is 1. October and 9. November is Mauer Tag (the day the Berlin Wall came down). Swiss National Day is 1. August. Does anyone really care about Österreich? Well, not really...but, in case you are the minority of one, their national holiday is 26 October.
3. Germans are experts at abbreviation. They have to be with words like Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz (the law for the delegation of monitoring beef labeling). This was abbreviated to RkReÜAÜG. So much easier! Fortunately for us Stammtisch members, the EU has eliminated this word!
Because of words like this:
a. German's never say 5 words really fast; and,
b. German's don't play Scrabble TM
4. Tell someone today that you love them because life is short, but shout it at them in German because life is also terrifying and confusing.
5. While American children may be kind, German children are Kinder.
6. There are two kinds of music: German music and bad music (same applies to beer).
7. Everything has an end, but a sausage has two. Alles hat eine Ende, nur hat die Wurst zwei!
8. Learn German! Being bi-lingual helps prevent Alzheimer's! Wirklich!
9. German is the third most popular language in the world. It is official in 5 countries: Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Luxembourg and Liechtenstein.
10. Die Deutsche Sprache oder Die Tütsche Sprache? The spelling 'Deutsch' was not finalized until sometime in the 18th Century. Martin Luther spoke of the tütsche Sprache. The Swiss (whose language is more closely related to the older middle German still say they speak Schyzertütsch (Swiss German). Swiss, while a dialect, can sound foreign to some German ears. Here are two examples of words that don't even have a German equivalent and a comparative sentence.
a. göötsche - to play with water
b. Guggihü - a nowhere land
c. Swiss over PA: Liebi Chunde und Chundinne! German same sentence: Liebe Kunde und Kundin! The Swiss makes it sound like they are saying "dear dogs and female dogs."
