Norway's National Day

Bergen International Church participated in the parade this morning. The men's group had made a boat on wheels, and we had some of the little children sit in it. Thirty some people participated in the parade, many dressed in their national costumes, carrying Norwegian flags and flags from their home countries. Bishop Ole joined us after the parade .

All kinds of Pentecostals

As every year on the second day of Pentecost, there was an outdoor service in the ancient church ruins behind Haakon's Hall in Bergen. Here are some pictures taken by Harisoa Neriah Ranoroarisoa and Anne Bangui.

Many congretations were represented. Also our previous Bishop, Per Lønning, was there for the occation.

Grace Danhua Lin read from Genesis 11 in Chinese.

Quite a lot of people had gathered this year.
