There are also activities such as workshops, singing, walking, swimming and relaxing. an important aspect of the Seminar is the friendship that quickly develops amoung the participants from across Canada and elsewhere.

The Seminar is modelled on the Folk Schools in Denmark.  It is being held right after the Danish Federation’s national Conference in Toronto.

The “cheese lover’s” perfect night, what more can we say? Hopefully our resident ‘chef’ will be available to give a demonstration on how to prepare a few varieties of hot cheese dishes. There will be some wine to accompany the tasting experience as well. A variety of worldly cheeses for a “name that cheese contest” will keep you guessing for a while.

It was suggested that you bring your favorite board or card game and get your friends talking about their funniest Christmas experiences over a glass of wine or beer.

Please join us January 27, 2012 at 7:30 pm at the St. John’s Lutheran Church Hall.

Christmas Church Service – Sunday December 11, 2011

20 Sunday Nov 2011

We have been blessed with an exceptionally beautiful and long fall. It is hard to believe that another year is coming to its close.

Pastor Elisabeth Arendt is back on the pulpit from a shorter than usual maternity leave, having given birth to an adorable little girl in December last year. We welcome her back here in Ottawa on Sunday, December 11, 2011, at 2:00 p.m. at St. John’s Lutheran Church, 272 Crichton Street.

This Service is in Danish, but everyone is welcome. It is a wonderful way to start the busy Christmas season, to sing our well-known Danish hymns and listen to the traditional Christmas gospel.

After the Service we meet next door in the Church Hall for our usual coffee and tea, with goodies. At Christmas time it is tradition, though, that we have “æbleskiver”, courtesy of Bodil and Peter.

If you can spare some of your own Christmas baking for the coffee table, it will be very well received. Hope to see you there.

On behalf of the Church Committee,
I remain yours truly,
Vita Christensen

A big welcome to children of all ages to this year’s Danish Club Children’s Christmas Party.   And this year we have a wonderful show scheduled – the Rags and Bones actors will present the H.C. Andersen production of ‘The Nightingale’ .  The spectacular human size puppet show will promise to be an event to remember!!

The Christmas Party is at de l’ecole Horizon-Jeunesse 349 Olmstead Street in Vanier (corner of McArthur Av).  Given the Rags & Bones show,  the start time is 2:00 p.m. sharp!!.  We would appreciate if everyone could be on time as it is a new location for us and you wouldn’t want to disrupt the performance of the actors and puppets.

The cost is $7.50 for adults and the children are free. Do not forget to wrap a $10.00 gift (approx.) for your child with the full name printed clearly on the face of the gift. The gift box is by the registration table as you enter the school, and will be given out by Santa later in the program.

There will be drinks and æbleskiver and cookies for all.

Please be sure to use our Children’s Christmas Party Registration Form and register your child/family before the deadline Monday December 28, 2011.
