Søndag den 05.09 var der, takket været William og Janeen,  igen arrangeret kirkekaffe. Det var som altid meget hyggeligt at få en snak med folk som man jo ellers kun ser og hilser på inden og efter messen. Denne gang havde jeg inviteret en af vores trofaste tyske gæster med til kaffe. Som så mange andre af vores tyske venner har han besøgt os i over 20 år hver sommer. Egentlig en skam, at man ikke kender deres navne, deres nummerplader afslører dog hvor i Tyskland de kommer fra. Men ansigterne er kendte. Ofte synger vores gæster med på de danske salmer, som de jo efterhånden har lært at kende. Jeg synes også, at det er meget passende, at vi læser evangeliet på tysk for disse så trofaste venner af vores kirke. Feriesæsonen nærmer sig slutningen, og når vi ser dem igen er der atter sommer!

På billedet er vor tyske gæst sammen med William, mens Janeen kan skimptes til højre, mens Pastor Mikolaj rækker ud efter en af Janeens berømte ‘cookies’. Tak til Mark for artiklen og billedet.

English Version

Sunday the 5th. Sept., thanks to Janeen and William, it was again time for church coffee after mass. As always a very cosy affair giving  us all time to chat with people to whom we normally just see and nodd . This time I had invited one of our faithful German guests to have cup and a chat. Just like many of our German guests he has been coming to our church every summer for more than 20 years! In a way it’s a shame that we don’t know their names though their car number plates reveal from which part of Germeny they come. Many of their faces are well- known. Often our guests at mass sing the hymns in Danish as they get to know the words  better and better. I think it’s a good gesture to read the Gospel in German for these faithful friends of the church. The end of the  holiday season has finally arrived and when we see them again, then we know that yet again summer has come to Denmark.

In the picture you can see our German guest to the right together with William. On the right Janeen is present whilst the priestly figure reaching out after one of Janeen’s famous cookies is Pastor Mikolaj.

Thanks to Mark for the article and the picture.
