Christian Families

I would like to share some new things I have discovered about the history of the Filipino community in Berlin. Charlottenburg is a vibrant hub for the Filipino community in Berlin. Every Sunday at 3:30pm, you can attend holy mass in Filipino at the Heilig-Geist-Kirche (Holy Spirit Church) on Bayernallee 28. Just a short distance away, Pinoy—the city’s oldest Filipino restaurant, owned by Rosalinda Nolasco-Jecht at Danckelmannstr. 49—serves traditional home-cooked dishes like *Sinigang* and *Adobo*. To support the Filipino community, I would like to promote an upcoming event. On April 11, Pinoy will host a special event, Kain Tayo Day, featuring Filipino street food from 12:00–4:30pm, followed by a special *Kamayan* Dinner from 5:30–7:00pm. (You can reserve your spot for the *Kamayan* Dinner [here](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd1omVLu-bY6oZvwD82akCA3iL65I9U7KlC1ZCJCtYyJ1il7A/viewform?usp=publish-editor).) This is a perfect opportunity if you are a *Pinoy* craving Filipino food or a foreigner who has never tried it. Meetup members, shall we gather at 2:30pm for *merienda*? It will be entirely up to you if you want to avail of their dinner menu. **Filipino Vocabulary:** **Pinoy** refers to a native or inhabitant of the Philippines, or to something related to the country or its people. The term is a diminutive form of Filipino and is used as both a noun and an adjective. **Sinigang** is a Filipino sour soup with a tangy broth, typically made with tamarind and simmered with pork, beef, fish, or shrimp, along with vegetables like eggplant and string beans. Some regions use other souring agents, such as guava or calamansi. **Adobo** is typically made with pork or chicken cooked in vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, garlic, bay leaves, and black peppercorns. **Kain tayo** means "Let's eat" in Filipino and serves as a warm invitation to share a meal, reflecting the Filipino values of hospitality, community, inclusion, and generosity. **Kamayan** is the traditional Filipino practice of eating with the hands. The word comes from the Filipino term "kamay," meaning "hand," and this method emphasizes communal dining, often during celebrations and family gatherings. **Merienda** in the Philippines is a traditional light meal or snack eaten between main meals, usually in the mid-morning or afternoon. Introduced during Spanish colonial times, it features both sweet and savory dishes such as kakanin, pancit, and lumpia. More than just eating, merienda is a time to socialize and take a break with family or friends.

International Meetup for those who still like to follow the Peaceful teachings of Christ. We are free and curious humans, try to practice patience, kindness, humanity, etc, and have the freedom to read any book of the world, including the Gospels. Let's support each-other, upbuild faith, and find some like-minded friends in our community. (If you are a new believer, you are also welcome only if you have been practicing Christianity regularly for at least since last 3 years. )

And when we say *all*, we mean **all**. Come as you are. You belong. We celebrate open communion, meaing all are wecome to recieve Holy Communion.

Join the First Circle of Moms in Berlin & Brandenburg here 💛; linktr.ee/supermom_inc Motherhood can be beautiful and fulfilling… and also incredibly demanding. This meetup is a small, relaxed space for moms to connect, share experiences, and support one another without pressure or expectations. Whether you’re looking to meet other moms nearby, have meaningful conversations, exchange ideas, or simply take a break and be around people who understand this stage of life, you’re very welcome. There’s no formal agenda, just real conversations and a chance to build genuine connections. Because we want to keep the atmosphere personal and comfortable, the group will be intentionally small. If you’re interested, feel free to join us; we’d love to meet you. Feel free to bring your child if that makes it easier for you.

The Humanist Monthly Program is our longest running event and still a community favorite. In the old days it used to be called "Going to HCCO" and we still like to think of it as our flagship event. We will be hearing from Becca Powell, Director of Advocacy and Outreach at Unchained At Last, an organization whose mission is dedication to ending forced and child marriage in the United States through direct services and systems change. Unchained At Last's mission clearly meshes and addresses several of our Humanist Ten Commitments. Becca will educate us about an issue many of us may not be familiar with--but should be. Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk. Going forward our meetings will be hybrid. You can meet us in-person or attend online Join Zoom Meeting [https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87836564953?pwd=4Mi57ElZkDIFlb1fnlNwOJ0NiOK4tP.1](https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87836564953?pwd=4Mi57ElZkDIFlb1fnlNwOJ0NiOK4tP.1) Meeting ID: 878 3656 4953 Passcode: 760812 One tap mobile +19292056099,,87836564953#,,,,\*760812# US (New York) +13017158592,,87836564953#,,,,\*760812# US (Washington DC) The formal presentation will start at noon
