The first day of the FIFA world cup was something very special in Nuremberg. At 1:30 p.m. celebrations began with a huge soccer field cake, then the kickoff-caf' opened and a big screen TV showed the German team winning.

'Jesus knows us and our need - and he responds to it.' That was the subject of the Sunday morning service in which the service team took part. People from the institution and the corps celebrated together and felt the presence of the Lord.

After the match the service team (together with Majors Andersson from Cologne) went to town and experienced a wonderful and friendly atmosphere there.
