This was
the most blessed Sunday I've ever had in Denmark. (This has only been the
second so far ha ha but never mind)
I got up at 7am and even though I still have a cold and didn't manage to go to bed early yesterday, I felt so awake and fit as a fiddle. So at eight o'clock I was as ready as I've ever been and a couple from Løgstør who is going to another church in Aalborg picked me up, gave me a lift to Aalborg and finally dropped me off at the house of Klaus and his lovely family. Half an hour later I went to their church together with his wife and their son. While Jonas was rehearsing with the worship band Hanne and I sat down in another room and had a very good conversation. I seriously feel so blessed to know her. When we went back to the bigger room the service started soon. Surprisingly someone in the back was translating the Service into English so I could understand everything. After the Service we had a cup of coffee and ate some cookies. As far as I can assess that from my first impressions Bethel Kirke Aalborg (Click here to see a short video of the church) is such a loving and faithful community and I’ll definitely come back as often as possible.
Hanne also invited me to have dinner with her and Jonas because I wanted to visit another church in the afternoon and had a lot of time left. So we had lunch together and a really cozy midday/afternoon, before she dropped me off at “EuroLifeKirke” (See their flyer in the picture below).
When I went into the room I was immediately welcomed by different people. The church was a lot smaller than I thought but you could really feel that it’s not about the number of people attending the service but about the community, the conversations and all the things you share. Even in this small church (there were less than 15 people attending the afternoon service) there was someone translating everything into English. I felt really welcomed there as well. Their main church community is based in Aarhus and they just started doing these afternoon services in Aalborg so I’m looking forward to being part of it and seeing the development of this community during the next ten months.
