Danish Lutheran Church of Toronto

According to the calender the winter ends on March 20th. As a celebration of that spring will soon begin, we will on the last Sunday of Winter, on March 14th, serve a hot bowl of soup after the church service.

A group of ladies from the Golden Age Club will prepare this delicious light lunch for us.

 So come to church Sunday March 14th at 10.30 - remember it is the day when Daylight Saving Time begins! 

 The Danes have been invited to join the Finnish and the Swedish Lutheran churches for their Ash Wednesday celebration. In the Danish Lutheran Church we usually only celebrate Fastelavn before Lent. Most other Lutherans churches all over the world also celebrate Ash Wednesday, which is 46 days before Easter (40 days not counting the Sundays). 

The Danish Church in Toronto will again this year like to invite all Danish families in greater Toronto area to Fastelavn. The celebration takes place Sunday February 14th in the middle of family weekend. If you and your family wants to experience a real family event during family weekend, come to church!

Atter i år inviterer den Danske Kirke i Toronto alle danske familier i Toronto og omegn til Fastelavn. I år foregår det søndag d. 14. februar midt i "family weekend". Hvis du og din familie vil have en rigtig familieoplevelse denne familieweekend, så kom til den Danske Kirke.

Rehearsals are on Sunday 13th and Sunday 20th December after the church service at approximately 11:45am and will last no longer than one hour.

For those of you who visited our NEW DANISH IMPORT BOOTH at the Christmas Bazaar this year, here is your OPPORTUNITY to make requests for our next shipment.

We are also looking for feedback on items sold this time around. 

At the moment there is a suggestion to have an English translation handy for recipes on the back of bread mixes and any other mixes we might pick up.

So don't be shy, we are hoping to expand our IMPORT BOOTH in the Spring and would like to cater to as many supporters as possible!

If you have any ideas you would like us to consider, please don't hesitate to send us an e-mail through our contact page.
