The international Gen Verde Music Group set up at Statdthagen, Germany, on September 9th to celebrate the 500th anniversary of the Lutheran Reform. Gen Verde writes: “A thousand people, in spite of the pouring rain that continued until just before the concert began.”  “The crowd filled the entire main square of the pretty city of Stadthagen, in Lower Saxony. Our concert, On the Other Side, brought a note of fraternity and internationality. Already in the days leading up to the concert, we shared some beautiful moments with the Lutheran Bishop, Dr Manzke, who had invited us and his collaborators. On the day of the concert a group of young people and their pastors helped us to set up the stage, drenched by the rain. but happy.” “We are left in our heart with those people in the square under a sea of umbrellas, cold and listening and rejoicing, singing and finally dancing along with us! Thank you, Stadthagen, together we experienced moments as a true family.”
