Pastor Brach Retires, Plans to Stay in Northside
Pastor Ekkehard Brach, retiring from the Lydia denomination, plans to stay in the Northside Hospital area. He's currently seeking a spacious, barrier-free apartment in the Hafenviertel, expressing his love for the area. His farewell service was a grand affair, with the entire Pauluskirche filled to capacity.
Brach's departure sparked an outpouring of gratitude from his congregation. Many members brought gifts, standing in a long line to thank him personally. Among the presents were a bird clock and funds for a telescope. Brach will continue his musical pursuits, joining the new choir of the congregation.
The pastor's impact was evident in the service schedule. The 11:30 a.m. conversation at the Josephskirche was cancelled to accommodate his farewell, highlighting its significance. Michael Stache, a colleague, praised Brach's 'approachable and unpretentious manner' and commitment to visiting confirmands at home.
Ekkehard Brach's retirement marks the end of an era for the Lydia congregation. Despite leaving his pastoral role, he plans to remain in the Northside Hospital area, cherishing the community he's served. His legacy lives on, with the congregation valuing his contributions and looking forward to his continued involvement in the choir.
