Changed location for the Sunday Service

This Sunday (Aug 1st) we will not have our service at the usual location because we are at our annual Nordic Mission Conference in Finland.

New web-site for apologetics

Hi, I’d like to introduce you to a brand new web-site about Christian evidences: www.apologetics.dk. Its purpose is not to compete with other sites, but to complement them with materials that I show to our congregation plus some extras.

During 2010 you will see new series about The Reliability of the Bible, OT Archaeology and The Book of Esther. Several independent presentations like Theodicy (the problem of human suffering), Jesus in the OT and Cosmology through history will also be added, as well as two on Evolution.

You can get a notification email, whenever there is new material added to the site, by signing up. Any comments are welcome. Enjoy / Sten J.

Wedding!

Guests from Stockholom

Guest speaker from USA

Dead Sea Scrolls

Today Sten gave a presentation of the Dead Sea Scrolls, where we could learn that the Old Testament was transferred fantastically to us through the centuries. The 2000 year old documents give us a certanty that the OT that we have is the same as existed at the time of Jesus. Even more amazing is the fact that we now have evidence that the prophecies about the Messiah (that perfectly match Jesus) actually were written a long time before Jesus was born! The children joined us for this church service and we concluded by reading Isaiah 53 before taking the communion.

Haiti

About a month ago Haiti was hit by a major earthquake, as I’m sure you know. Many buildings and parts of the infrastructure were destroyed. Even worse is the number of deaths and the survivors are going through a terrible time. There are still many people missing from our sister church over there. HOPE (the international and very efficient help organization of our church) were quickly on the scene, bringing water, food and medical help. There are daily supplies distributed.

This Sunday we saw a film and took up an contribution. We will continuously send the money over there as they come into the HOPE-account (2103-6446 314 813, write “to Haiti”). Thank you Katinka and others for getting us going on helping the needy.

A new year

As it is our tradition, many of the disciples from Copenhagen ended the old year, and began a new; with a great party on our annual newyears-camp.

Disciples from all over Europe, came to fellowship and party with us from the 28th of December to the 1st of January. It was good to renew old friendships and to gain new ones.

This year we had the camp in Gribskov, which was a new experience. And an old dream came true for Henning and Ulf, who planned the camp, when Andy Fleming took part of it with his family, and gave inspiring lessons from the bible during the days we were together.

Thanks to everybody who were there, and to Henning and Ulf and those who helped to arrange the camp!

Holidays

Due to the Holidays, we’ll not see you until next year (unless you are at the New Years Camp). There will be a Communion Service at a private home January 3rd. Normal Sunday services will be resumed January 17th.

So we will NOT be at the normal location these Sundays: 27/12, 3/1, 10/1.

Have a great holiday!

Special Christmas Church Service

Church of Christ wants to invite you to a special church service on the 13th of December at 3 PM. There will be singing & music during & after the service. We will also serve traditional Danish food.

Note: On December 6th there will NOT be a church service at the normal address. Ask a member if you want to find out where we’ll be.

Archaeology: In the footsteps of Jesus

Now it’s time for another apologetic series, where Sten shows some short PowerPoint presentations, to look at the close correspondence between what archaeology and the Bible teaches us. The series will be a part of the Sunday Services during October – come and see!

Eckerö 2009: Seek first His kingdom

Churchservice Sun July 26th & Aug 2nd

The Nordic Churches will have their annual summer conference on an island in Finland. This event will take place in week 31. Therefore the next two sunday services will be held at a private location (July 26th in Valby; Aug 2nd in Hvidovre) which is not at Haveselskabetsvej because many are attending the church conference in Finland. If you’d like to attend on July 26th or Aug 2nd, please contact our webmaster for more specific information (address).

We wish you a great summer 2009!

Baptism

Friday July 10th Anne Mette was baptized in Mads’s and Elisabeth’s garden. After having studied the bible for a while with sisters from the church, she took the decision to have Jesus as Lord in her life

Congratulations and welcome to Anne Mette!

After the baptism we celebrated with singing, music and good food. Mike turned on the barbeques and we had a summer party, in spite of all the rain that came in the course of the evening.

Family Camp in Hvalsø and communion service in Valby Sunday May 7th

The families with children have planned a great retreat on the countryside this coming weekend (Fri May 4th to Sun May 7th). The purpose of this trip is partly that the children have great fun with each other and also great times with their families. The other purpose is for the parents to get an opportunity to share experiences and seek advice on how to raise up their children in a godly way, and how to meet their children’s needs in the best and most loving way. The weekend will end up with a children’s service at the camp (in Hvalsø). 

For the rest of us who are not joining the camp, the Sunday service on May 7th will be held in Valby, Copenhagen at 4 PM. Everybody is welcome to join us here for a communion service and fellowship. For more information please contact webmaster or the one who has invited you.
