Dear all,
We are awaiting the government’s decisions of opening up society on 21 June.
Meanwhile there can only be 30 people present in a church building at the moment, so we await new regulations allowing us having more activities in the church. Please phone 07570853314 to ‘book a seat’ for Sunday services for now.
We are looking for volunteers to help us out with serving and cleaning at coffee mornings, film nights, craft groups, etc, please contact above number if you can help in any way.
Welcome back soon to the Gustaf Adolf Nordic Church at Park Lane!

Roger Metcalf, LiNC and Stan Royden, GANC

We launched a Christmas and New Year Appeal in December to help replace the funds we have lost as a result of the closure of the church due to the pandemic. We very much thank those that have generously sent donations to us.
All donations are very much welcome to help pay for the standing bills for the church building, gas, electricity, insurance, etc.
We do hope there is an end to the current circumstances so that the church’s activities can start up again and we can all meet up with friends again.
Here are the bank details if you want to add to our donations:

HSBC Bank plc Sort code 40-29-08
Account Number 04 03 99 63

We thank you for any generous donation you can make

ON 17 May there will be a wreath-laying at the Norwegian Memorial at Pier Head at 11 am.
No further events, unfortunately, the kitchen at the Nordic Church is being refurbished and is unlikely to be up and running again before 17 May,
It is expected that many of those who turn up for the event at Pier Head will find somewhere to socialize afterwards.

Please note that on Sunday 25 July there will not be a service in the Nordic Church. There will, however, be a ‘zoom’ service instead. If you wish to take part, you can do so by contacting Pastor Maris Sants beforehand:
marissants@gmail.com.
Apologies for the change of plan, which is due to circumstances beyond our control.
There will be no services in August, the next one will be morning prayers on 5 September.

The Linc board has decided to delay coffee mornings until October, due to the increase in Covid cases in the area. A decision will be made at the end of September.
The Sunday services will go ahead as usual. Please look up our calendar.

Morning prayer, followed by a light lunch.

Due to illness, this Sunday service will be transmitted on Zoom instead of taking place at the Nordic Church

Please email our pastor, marissants@gmail.com,  and he will send out invitations to join the Zoom meeting.

Services reflect our Nordic Lutheran tradition but all are very welcome to join us, pray and sing with us, hear the Word and receive communion or blessing. Bilingual liturgy booklets are provided.

Due to the Liverpool Marathon taking place in the centre of Liverpool and also on Park Lane it has been decided the service should take place as a Zoom meeting. Please email marissants@gmail.com for an invitation.

Due to a corona case we have decided to cancel the first coffee morning on 13 October.

The church will be open for Wednesday coffee mornings, starting on 20 October.
The board of LiNC cautiously decided to space out seating to accommodate 30 people safely and we expect visitors to still comply with Covid habits, ‘hands’ face and space’. It might appear overcautious but we are mostly elderly people and the pandemic is still around us.
Prices have gone up slightly: £5.00 for coffee, tea, sandwich and cake. Any extra portion will be £2.00 each.
