 Worship Service  in English  on the 3rd of June   

Worship service in  English is every  first Sunday of the month at 1 p.m.  See you on the 3rd  of June. The Rev. Michael Markussen will be conducting the worship service and  preaching the Word.

Coffee and tea will be served after the service. Please join the fellowship. The presence of some Danes in this worship service has been a welcoming gesture for the foreigners. There are foreigners in this fellowship who cannot speak the Danish language as their term of stay in the country is short. There are those who have struggled to learn the language and who by  informal friendly encounters with some Danes in church setting, manage to get help for their integration into the Danish society.

Bible Study 2012

The next Bible study follows a new schedule for the year 2012, taking into consideration Kurt's available time.  Instead of having it in the evenings, it has been decided to hold it after brunch. Those who have time to stay for an hour or longer after brunch are welcome to participate in the study at Simon Peters Church, Islandsvej 12, Kolding.

The study is in English, often participated in by students and interested Christians who would like to deepen their understanding on biblical texts in the light of life's own situation and events in our time.  See  here...

Come and share this fellowship of study, friendship and prayer. Contact This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it for more information.

Brunch on the 20th  of May   

The next brunch fellowship  is on the 20th  of May  at 12.15 .  As usual, we bring our food for the common table. There will be a short reflection followed by a common meal. Brunch also gives the possibility of sharing concerns and facts  of someone's country of origin.  Last month it was Anita Varga who by  a power point presentation, introduced her country, Hungary. There were also other few Hungarians who joined in the fellowship. The presentation was well received that it led into a very lively discussion,  partly bringing in the historic relationship between Denmark and Hungary.

 As usual, brunch fellowship  serves as forum for building bridges of friendship and service in spite of differences in religion, language and culture. This is an invitation to you.

Language Cafe /Sprogcafe every Thursday

Language Cafe continues every Thursday from 15.30 to 17.30.  Four regular Danish volunteers are giving their time to help foreigners brush up or learn their Danish language. The program is open to any refugee, foreigner or immigrant who is concerned to improve her/his  acquisition of the Danish language both written and spoken.
