Harvest Service at Hope Lutheran Church in NanaimoHi Everybody,
I am very excited to invite you to the Harvest Service (hoestgudstjeneste) at Hope Lutheran Church on Saturday, September 18th at 11:00 am. The Danish Bishop for DSUK, Marianne Gaarden and the Dean for DSUK. Selma Ravn will be there as well as Pastor Susanne Rasmussen from the Danish Church in Burnaby. It should be a very interesting meeting. We have invited people from Victoria to join us. Since Hope Church is still under Covid-19 restrictions, we can't have our usual coffee and cake after the service. Instead we will go to a restaurant with a patio near the ferry terminal for lunch. Please wear a mask. Give me a call if you are planning to join us for the lunch, I need to reserve a place for you. Vibeke's phone number: 250-585-8122 I hope you can come and that this event will go ahead as planned. Since Covid is still with us, things can still happen that are not under our control. See you at Hope Lutheran Church located at 2174 Departure Bay Road, Nanaimo behind Brooks Landing Mall |
