Danish Lutheran Church of Toronto

 A Journey Through Church History and our own Life

An often used metaphor to describe our life is the word journey. In this study group we will both discuss, how it can be a blessing to see our life as a journey, and how people throughout church history have went on journeys - pilgrimages - in order to cope with special life circumstances.

In the study group we will meet at the church the last Wednesday of the month at 7.30 pm.

Wednesday January 25th at 7:30 pm: Pilgrimage in the middle ages and how Luther wrote against the practice of pilgrimage.

Wednesday February 29th at 7.30 pm: Pilgrimage today in the Danish Lutheran Church.

Wednesday March 28th at 7.30 pm: An inner journey in the shape of an outer journey.

Wednesday April 25th at 7.30 pm: The story of Kristin Lauransdaughter: pilgrim traveller in the middle ages. The story of a modern pilgrim.

Please contact pastor Elisabeth Arendt for further information and/or registration.

 Join the choir for a one-time-only concert.
Sing the Danish kids' songs you know and love in a whole new way.

The Danish Lutheran Church Choir is offering 4 rounds of rehearsals where we will be practicing a variety of Danish children’s songs. We encourage everyone of all ages to take part in this wonderful event.
And for the souls who would love to hear these songs but don’t dare join the ride, we will be holding a concert, showing off big time what we’ve learned, on April 8th.

If you are interested in signing up your children, grandchildren or yourself please contact our über awesome choir director Kiera on kiera.galway@gmail.com

 New Year is a time of reflection; the church is a place for reflection, so why not come to church New Year's morning to reflect upon the turning of another year.

After the church service we gather downstairs to celebrate New Year - Danish style. We will enjoy a glass of champagne together with homemade kransekage and be watching her majesty Queen Margrethe 2nd of Denmark New Year's speech.

Come to church Sunday January 1st at 11 am and start the New Year with a Danish New Year celebration!

Come in the true Christmas spirit this season, celebrate the birth of Jesus with going to church. We offer many wonderful services for the whole family.

December 11th at 10.30 am will be a morning of music as the choir has promised to treat us by singing some of our loved Christmas songs. We will also get a change to join the choir, when we sing the many quiet advent hymns together.

In between the music we will listen to nine readings from the Bible, which are related to this special time of year.

The second Sunday in Advent is the day our church service include the traditional Lucia Pageant. Enjoy a festive beginning to our Christmas season.

You won't want to miss the younger ones once again singing: "Twinkle, twinkle Little Star". Our older members will sing all the well-loved carols.

After the pageant we will go downstairs to the Royal Hall, where we will enjoy homemade "frikadeller", potato salad, Danish layer cakes while sitting surrounded by Advent wreaths and candle lights. Christmas carols and other festivities will follow.

Once again we will revive some of our good old Danish Christmas traditions at our Christmas workshop.

There will be booths where you can weave Danish Christmas hearts and stars, cut "kravlenisser", bake cookies, roll "romkugler", all to take home with you after the workshop.

We will play Christmas songs and enjoy home made æbleskiver and a hot glass of glögg. 

This is fun for all ages. Bring your children, grandchildren, parents or neighbours, and let's have an afternoon full of Danish "julehygge".

The Christmas Workshop takes place Saturday November 26th, 2pm.

Admission is $5 per person.
