Wiesbaden event highlights EFB's evolving family and community support
Evangelical Family Education (EFB) held its spring reception in Wiesbaden last week. The event brought together around 60 guests at the House at the Market Church. Staff, partners, and local leaders attended to discuss community engagement and family support. Melina Wendlandt, head of Family Education, opened the evening by welcoming attendees. She introduced the theme of trust, setting the tone for discussions. Bettina Gries, a city magistrate, later thanked EFB for its work in strengthening family and community bonds.
Dean Arami Neumann of the Evangelical Church spoke about the year's guiding motto: *'See, I am making all things new.'* He highlighted EFB's role in adapting to modern family needs. Gerhard Obermayr, chair of the city council, also praised the organisation's trust-based partnerships and civic collaboration. Guests enjoyed sparkling wine, juice, bread, and dips while reflecting on key questions. Conversations focused on EFB's evolving programs, which now include counselling, life-phase support, and aid for refugees. Regional branches, like those in Main-Taunus, have expanded services to cover language schools and food banks.
The reception underscored EFB's commitment to adapting its services for families. Attendees left with a clearer understanding of the organisation's expanded role in education and community support. The evening reinforced the importance of trust and collaboration in local initiatives.
