On September 18, the Evangelical-Reformed Congregation Bern-Johannes Church (Evangelisch-reformierte Kirchgemeinde Bern-Johannes Church) became a blue community. Maude Barlow was there to present a blue community certificate to Beatrice Stäuber, the president of the church’s parish council. The City of Bern and the University of Bern also became blue communities that day.
