St Alban’s Church in Jutland We also have an English-speaking congregation in Aarhus, Jutland, which meets in a church we gratefully borrow from the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Denmark. The Chaplain of Saint Alban’s, Copenhagen, usually leads the services; however, during the interregnum our locum chaplains will be taking the services. We gather on the below dates: AARHUS – at Møllevangskirken, Møllevangs Allé 49, 8210 Aarhus V January – Sunday 28 18:00 4th Sunday of Epiphany February – Sunday 25 18:00 2nd Sunday of Lent March – Sunday 25 18.00 Palm Sunday Refreshments are served in Sognegården after the service. Everyone is welcome. For Further details from Angela Hansen contact [email protected] VEJLE It is with sadness that the international services that have been held in a Church of Denmark building in Vejle, and led by Deacon Christophe Ndikuriyo, have been found not to be viable. As the number of attendees have been getting smaller and smaller, the sad decision has been made to discontinue these services. JELLING The social arrangements, “Eat and Sing”, in Jelling continue to be held each first Thursday of the month at 17:30

Message from our Locum Chaplain, Canon David Ratcliff Dear Friends Gillian and I are most grateful for all your kindnesses and help to us during this 3rd locum here at St. Alban’s. It is very encouraging to see so many of you faithfully worshipping here each Sunday and over the Christmas festival. Despite what the media tries to do in giving forecasts for the future none of us can be completely certain about it. Whether it is in politics at a global, European or even local level much is in a fluid state. Enormous changes are taking place and many of us are feeling unsettled. It is the same in our churches, especially at a time when there is no current permanent priest to assist in the leadership of a Christian community such as at St. Alban’s. It is a demanding time and it has been impressive to find so many of you working extra hard to keep the worship and many church activities going. Sharing and working together in a diverse multi-national and multi-cultural community makes extra demands on us as we will have different expectations and needs. Caring and listening, trusting and above all praying for those who are fellow Christians, especially for those with whom we disagree, are essential elements of a faithful discipleship. The church is a place where we can do that. In the coming months Gillian and I will be thinking of you and praying for you. We look forward to hearing good news soon about the appointment of a new priest to serve here. But please remember that the ministry of the church depends on all those who belong, and who faithfully pray and work together for the furtherance of the Kingdom of God in this place whatever the future might bring. God bless you all, DAVID Canon David Ratcliff.

New Year Advent “In Christ, time does not run out on us, it comes to meet us.”
Source unknown The year comes to meet us as a promise and an invitation: we affirm that the time of creation is always now. In wrestling and in endurance we shall receive our name1
as we trust in the graciousness of a continual journey from what we have known to what we shall become. We hear the voice of our calling among those who have no form or beauty to make them desirable2, no voice in the councils of the dread deciders: We acknowledge that they carry the burden of our blindness, and disclose for those with eyes to see a judgement on the world we too have built. We may not escape the discerning exercise of such power as accrues to us, but neither does this give us any claim to dominate the earth: The mighty will be put down from their seat3. We acclaim the One called Jesus who chose the way of vulnerability in his living and in his dying: It is good for us we cannot cling to him4, his going away5 empowers us to own the freedom he has given through his Spirit poured out on all flesh6
to shape the life of this our earthly home as a commonwealth of peace and unity.

We will strive for justice for all who are cut off from the land of the living7. We expect our idols to be broken before God who is the stranger at our gate8, hiding his face awhile that we may live by hope in him9. Day by day we shall sing the song of the Lord in a foreign land10
and make our protest as we say – Long live God11a: let us prepare the way of the Lord11b. And we live in hope towards that day when the almond tree shall blossom12
in peace. “In Christ we grow not older but younger.” Source unknown

Christmas and New Year Message Message originally sent out as an email to all on the electoral roll register. Dear all, Your two churchwardens, Christopher Parker and Nigel Rowley, together with all the of the ministry team and the Church Council would like to wish everyone who comes to Saint Alban’s a very merry Christmas and a peaceful, happy New Year. We would like to thank everyone for helping to make Saint Alban’s such a welcoming, happy place and, we are grateful for all the help, including the generous financial support, that Saint Alban’s receives every year. Looking back on 2017, there are so many things to be grateful for and, it is incredibly difficult to know which to highlight here. One could mention the wonderful season the Guardians have had or, all the hard work that was put into the fête or, those who keep the church tidy, all the brass shiny and beautify the church with flowers or, the hours of work on our gardens or, those who have helped get the chaplaincy house ready for the locums and to get them settled in or, all those who ensure there is a warm cup of coffee or tea after the Sunday service or, all the hours that go into making our wonderful Church Newsletter …… and the list goes on! A huge thank you to all who make Saint Alban’s - well, Saint Alban’s. 2018 is going to be yet another exciting year in the life of our church. The first third of the year we will still be in interregnum but, with the help and guidance of the wonderful locums we have lined up, as well as from our friend Palle Thordal, the weeks will fly by. We are naturally all very much looking forward to welcoming our new chaplain and excited as to who it is. Unfortunately, it is not possible to go into any details at present but, we will soon have our new chaplain leading us in our worship and helping both Saint Alban’s, and us personally, to grow and thrive. 2018 will, at long last, also be the year where Saint Alban’s gets a long awaited new toilet block. Not just one new toilet but three! Where the toilet is situated at present, and the immediate area around it, this will be converted to a new kitchenette. What luxury :-) We hope to put the project out to tender in January and to start the actual building work in late spring/early summer. However, all of this will cost a considerable amount of money (in excess of DKK 2.5 million) and, therefore we are looking to raise as much capital as possible - hopefully exceeding half a million kroner. A very merry Christmas to you all and the very best of wishes for 2018 Chris & Nigel

Shoe Box Appeal 2017
Every year the Mothers’ Union organises the Shoe Box Appeal to provide Christmas gifts for children, spending Christmas at the Danner Shelter in Copenhagen. Many of the children have experienced difficult times and might not receive any other presents. The Shoe Box presents are given in the hope that they help the children have a happy and peaceful Christmas.
Children and grown-ups from our congregation and students from Copenhagen International School all took part in a collection of gifts and money donations last year. Thanks to the overwhelming success we had enough gifts and donations to prepare gifts for all the children this year as well. Students from Copenhagen International school have collected gifts for the women, so 12 children and 16 women each received a nice gift on Christmas Eve. Last year a mother wrote: “It meant for us, that Christmas became a lot less difficult financially. But most of all it meant the feeling that some people are thinking of ‘us’. It gave the Christmas spirit, which it was so difficult to find because of our situation.” Dear friends, thank you so much for your kind help and generosity!

Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols in Copenhagen This year’s 9 lessons and carols services were held on the 10th and 11th of December. As normal, more people wanted to attend these services than there is room for in the church, so the church was filled with people who were able to get the free tickets for this service. The service was lead by our locum priest Canon David Ratcliff. The choir was in
great voice and lead the congregation in singing carols. The story of Christmas was told by the readers of the nine lessons. We hope that if you didn't manage to get a ticket this year, that you managed to attend some of our other services held during the Advent and Christmas period.
Words and Photographs by John Mills Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols in Aarhus The Aarhus congregation honours the traditions, and our Festival of Nine Lessons was truly a festive evening. This special service attracted more than 100 people, and Canon David Ratcliff delivered a heartfelt and beautiful sermon. One of the lessons was read by Møllevangskirken’s Danish chaplain, Hanne Jul Jakobsen, who attended this service. Afterwards, the dedicated volunteers provided English specialities and treats, and when the stomachs were full, we lifted our voices once more and sang some of the traditional carols. It was a wonderful evening, and we are looking forward to next year.

A Service of Carols and Poetry by Candlelight
On Saturday 16th December the wonderful service of ‘Carols and Poetry by Candlelight’ was held. This service has grown in popularity over the years and this year we saw a great turnout of people all eager to hear the wonderful readers, singers and musicians. Helen Davis and Viola
Demuth Anderson filled the Church with
heavenly music as they played their harp duet.
The essence of Christmas was captured in the candle light as the church
filled with people waiting to hear what treats were in store for us all.

Thank-you to all involved who have not been mentioned: Michael Emery, Dawn Wall, Anna Christine Christensen, Sophia Franklin Ryan, Phoebe Kamara, Churchwardens and sidespeople and everyone who helped.

Sunday the 24th: a "no rehearsal Nativity"
People where already arriving for the nativity service as the 10:30 Sunday service was finishing on the 24th of December. Children were offered the opportunity to dress up as a nativity character, which many of the children decided to do.
When the service started at 12:30, with a full church, there were a host of angels, a flock of shepherds, some wise men and Mary and Joseph ready to take part in the service. Joakim, our children, youth and young-adult coordinator, introduced the service. Then our locum priest, Canon David Ratcliff, led the congregation through the nativity, with prayers and carols at appropriate times. The service reminded the congregation of the Christmas story and was enjoyed by all.

And the Winner Is… When I got an email with the subject line saying ‘And the Winner Is’ I immediately thought it must be spam. After receiving an email later in the day from Darren congratulating me on winning the photographic competition set by the Bishop of Europe, Robert Innes, I realised the earlier email was not spam. I was not really expecting a prize, but I got some lovely biscuits which
I took to England and shared with family at Christmas. The winning photo was of the choir on a very cold and wet pancake day. I have to thank Pauleen for telling me about the competition and getting it put on the pew slip to remind everyone to enter. Without Pauleen being aware of the competition via the hard work she does on the internet, I would never have known about it.

St Alban’s Receives a Wonderful Bequest – 10 Talents? Here is a story to gladden the hearts of any Churchwarden, Church Council or Treasurer – and one which will benefit us all. In the spring of last year, Chris Parker and I received an email out of the blue from a lawyer offering the church a large legacy. Hmmm... our initial, modern-day scepticism jumped to the fore. Internet fraud being what it is, good, trusting Christian folk are often targeted. The message from the lawyer, (in translation) reads:
As Executor of the estate of the named person, I inform you herewith that the late benefactor has requested that Saint Albans Church Churchillparken 11 2100 København Ø should receive a total legacy of DKK. 3,000,000,00 (Three million Kroner). In order to pay this sum I need to receive the church’s bank account details. The legacy, which is made for the free use of the church, should be designated: “Donated by Marie Christensen, in memory of Horace Hugh Messeter and his sister Florence Emily Mary Messeter”.
I made immediate checks of the lawyer and the document he had sent us. The lawyer was bona fide, and the document did actually originate from the Danish authorities – the Court in Frederiksberg. So far, so good. Now to actually meet the lawyer to discover who the person was, why she had remembered St Alban’s in her will and if she had specified any particular conditions for the use of the funds. This proved impossible, as the lawyer was ill most of the summer and could not meet us. He assured me, however, that he had indeed been the executor of the will, and in due course, the sum of DKK 3,000,000 was paid into the church’s bank account. Who was she? Who were the Messeters? Was her maiden name Messeter? Was she British or Danish? New to the sleuthing trade, I first made enquiries about Horace Hugh Messeter and his sister Florence of older members of the church but to no avail. Caroline Marie Christensen was born on 4 March 1918 and lived to the ripe old age of 98 in a flat in Frederiksberg. She died on 22 May 2016, having named Advokat Søren Agerbo as her guardian and executor. By chance, my husband overheard me making enquiries, as her death notice mentioned a company with whom he began his career in the early 1980s. “Oh yes – gammel Marie – I knew her well,” he said. “She was the secretary to the Directors in Monberg and Thorsen. She knew I was married to a New Zealander and asked if I was taking her to St Alban’s Church, where she could meet English speakers. She

said she went there frequently,” he said. Progress so close to home was a pleasant surprise. But Carsten couldn’t remember her nationality. Time has passed and no further information has come to light. The generous bequest will benefit the church, its congregation and its buildings (not least the new toilet block) to an enormous extent. We should pray for the soul of Caroline Marie Christen, her family members, Horace and Florence Messeter, and that God grants us the clarity to put this gift – like the talents in the parable – to his best use.

Firefighting Following the success of the defibrillator training session not so long ago, the Church Council has decided that we should encourage as large a group of the St. Alban’s family as possible to take part in a very different, but just as important, kind of first aid – a course to learn how to use the fire extinguishers in St. Alban’s. Hovedstadens Beredskab – what used to be known as the Copenhagen Fire Service – will hold a three-hour course in English to teach us how to prevent the spread of a small fire until the big red fire engines arrive. We would like to see as many people as possible from the various groups of Albanites sign up – that is, sidespeople, guardians, choristers and anyone else in the congregation. It will be different, interesting and fun. It could also be invaluable. We are looking at a Saturday in the spring – but no decision will be made until we have an idea of how many places should be booked for the course. We are hoping for up to 20 people to join in. If you would like to take part, please contact the Churchwardens – or add your name to the list posted in the narthex.

St Alban’s Choir With music playing an important role in Anglican liturgy, it is the task of the choir to lead the congregational singing and thus create a sense of unity among people gathered in church and an atmosphere of prayer. During our Eucharist on the second Sunday of Advent, a new chorister was formally admitted into the choir at St Alban’s Church. Before his admission, he underwent a singing test and a period of probation. Our new choir member Jorge Ivan Contreras Cardeño was given a warm welcome by the congregation. The ritual of admission, which follows the guidelines of the Royal School of Church Music, was conducted by Canon David Ratcliff. Being present at such ceremony gives every choir member the opportunity to reflect upon his or her own view of what it means to be a chorister. Singing in the choir can become a deeply spiritual experience. This is summarised beautifully in the concluding prayer of the admission ritual: “May the Lord grant that what you sing with your lips, you may believe in your heart, and what you believe in your heart, you may show forth in your life.”
The Saint Albans church choir is always ready to welcome new members. Besides a passion for music, it is recommended that candidates have experience in choral singing and can read music. If interested, please contact [email protected] or speak with our director of music, Michael König, after a service.

Locums in November and December 2017
The first of our locums from the UK, Canon Barry Thomas, was barely with us for two weeks, but we kept him busy. He took the Sunday Eucharist on November 5th, the Wednesday Eucharist on November 8th, and then the early Eucharist and the Remembrance Service on November 12th. I took him out to lunch after the Wednesday service. He was also entertained in various ways by members of the congregation.
We would like to thank Canon David Ratcliff and his wife Gillian for being with us all the way through Advent and Christmas. It was wonderful, although they were certainly kept busy. We hope they enjoyed their stay here and had a safe journey home. A Happy New Year from all of us a St. Alban's
A warm welcome to our new locum Reverend Paul Skirrow and his wife Wendy. We are so lucky that they will be with us for 6 weeks.

More Guardians are Needed
Could you spare us a little of your time in our tourist season?
Guardian duty is from 10:00 – 13:00
or from 13:00 – 16:00
Most volunteers do one morning or afternoon a week but if you cannot manage that and would still like to help, you could be on the emergency list to
fill in when someone cannot make it in.
For more information contact Rosemary
Bible Study Bible Study is held every Friday evening at 18:00 in the upper room, finishing time varies. New members are always welcome. The aim of the group is to look in depth at the Bible, using different versions and comparing interpretations. As the Bible is studied, views and opinions are talked through. The group is a very interactive one, so please do not feel that someone will be teaching at you, questions are always welcomed! If you would like more information, contact Graeme Lloyd-Roberts on [email protected]

Meet Two ‘Michaels’ - our Music Makers: Michael 1
Born and brought up in the town of Crawley in southern England, Michael Emery took up his first church organist post at the age of 14. From school, he won a place to study Music at Oxford University as Organ Scholar of Merton College. Following this, he spent three years reading for a Master’s degree at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester, where he was also Organ Scholar of Manchester Cathedral.
In 1989 he joined the BBC as a producer for Radio 3 (the BBC’s national classical music radio channel) and from 1992 to 2015 was Senior Producer for the BBC Singers - the BBC’s full-time professional chamber choir. In 2015 Michael was invited to become Artistic Director of DR’s two professional choirs – VokalEnsemble and KoncertKor – and in January 2016 he moved to Copenhagen to take up his new job.
Michael has conducted choirs of all sorts, both amateur and professional, since his school days and counts amongst his most memorable past musical experiences, directing a choir singing the Sunday mass at Notre Dame, Paris. Another was when he prepared the chorus for the first complete performance of Handel’s Messiah in Moscow; a third was conducting Bach’s Mass in B minor with a chorus of 90 amateur singers in Chichester Cathedral. From 2009 to 2015, Michael was Director of Music at St Leonard’s, Streatham in South London where, amongst other musical activities, he organised liturgical performances, with the church choir, soloists and orchestra, of Bach’s St John Passion, masses by Mozart and Haydn, and other works, and took the choir on cathedral visits to sing Choral Evensong,
Michael says: “I’ve been coming to St A’s since I first arrived in Copenhagen last January, and since then have been made to feel incredibly welcome both by Darren, by Mie Berg, and by the St Alban’s community – especially its loyal, hard-working and accomplished choir. I look forward to many musical adventures - with the other Michael [ed.], the choir and the congregation – in the future”. Michael König, our Director of Music, will be interviewed in the next Newsletter as Michael 2.

Taizé Service, Sunday 12th November 2017
The autumn ‘Taizé Service’ saw a record number of 27 people attending, whilst this may seem a small number compared to our Sunday morning services it is quite good for the third service of the day to see so many there. It had already been a busy day with a 9am Communion and a 10:30 am Remembrance service in the morning so a little quiet reflection was welcomed by many. Graeme Lloyd-Roberts led the service and Michael König (our Director of Music) filled the church with magnificent music. Anne-Marie led the singing with her excellent voice. Prayers were said by various people in, English, Iranian, Danish, Creole and German.
A Taizé service gives one a time to reflect in the peaceful times during the service. A ten-minute period for silent prayer can seem a daunting amount of time for people used to the hustle and constant distractions of modern life, but after the first few minutes, the silence and serenity within the church allows one to truly concentrate on getting closer to God with silent prayer.

Getting Your Email to the Right-Person! The internet is just like the traditional posted letter in some ways; because if it has the wrong address on it, it will probably never find the right-person. In the table below are the addresses that you can use to get your news and views across. It is better to use these email addresses than personal ones as there is usually a backup person if someone is away, thus your email will get to the person who is dealing with things at the time you send your email.
