On Christmas Day, 25 December, you are welcome to celebrate with us in St. Markus Church that our Lord Jesus Christ was born. At 12 mid day we start the celebration with a multi-language worship service up in the main church sanctuary. Afterwards we share a meal downstairs in the parish hall and enjoy the fellowship.
St. Markus church is the big church between Michael Krohns gt and Lien. The address is Lotheveien 1. This church belongs to the local Church of Norway parish of Løvstakksiden. Bergen International Church is an ecumenical, English language international congregation with ties to Church of Norway.
The worship service will be held in several languages, including English and Norwegian. We shall sing Christmas carols from various traditions, read the Christmas story from the Bible, listen to the sermon and pray together.
The meal afterwards is free and open for anyone who wants to come. Last year we were more than a hundred people gathered, and we had a real good time together. We encourage those who come, to bring some of your favourite Christmas food. In this way, we make sure there is enough food for everyone, and we get a good variety of food.
Would you like to come? It is good for the planning committee to know if you plan to come for the meal, so that we get an idea of how many tables we should have ready. So if you plan to come, please send an email to christmas@bergenchurch.no or call the committee leader, Gerald Kagambirwe on 99450521.
We need many helping hands! If you want to help with anything – decorating the place, setting up tables, serving food, cleaning up afterwards – please contact us on the email address or mobile phone number above.
