MEET THE MINI<strong>ST</strong>RY TEAM (part of it!) Revd Darren McCallig gathered (almost) the ministry team on the occasion of Ursula Sonnenvald’s (2 nd left) first sermon at St Alban’s after her installation by Bishop David Hamid on 8 November 15. Ursula’s first sermon was warmly received and she is now actively engaged in the ministerial life of St Alban’s. Julian Simpson (1 st left) and Jan Passant (1 st rt) are Readers in Training and Graeme Lloyd-Roberts (2 nd rt) is already a licensed reader, Secretary of the Church Council and leads the Friday bible study group. Missing from the photo is Victoria Wadsworth Hansen, who was licensed in 2013. She held the Advent talks this Christmas season, called ‘ADVENTure’, Canon Ulla Monberg; the Revd Palle Thordal; and Deacon Christophe Ndikuriyo." The church council agreed at the Away Day in June 15, that the Chaplain should have an administrative assistant, someone to help him to ‘grow the church’ amongst students, and preferably someone who could also assist actively in the Ministry team. A tough call, but somehow God, if asked, always works his miracles. During the autumn Darren got to know Samuel Oneydika Nwokoro (b 27 March 1989).He is now a regular attendee at St Alban’s and has ~ 20 ~
agreed to take on some of the duties outlined in the Ministry Action Plan 2015. Samuel is a young man who is already an Anglican Deacon from Nigeria with an MA in Theology, who happens to be studying for a second Masters degree in Religious Roots of Europe (RRE) at Copenhagen University. After working as an Ordinand at two local churches in his home parish of Jos, Nigeria, Samuel was ordained a Deacon at St Michaels Anglican church in Jos, and worked as Chaplain and Christian instructor at St Piran High School and as a Curate at Christ Anglican Church in Bukuru, Nigeria. Before he came to Copenhagen to study, he also taught undergraduate courses in the Department of Historical Theology at The Theological College of Northern Nigeria at Bukuru. We are delighted that Samuel is part of our church community and hope he will find a warm and welcoming spiritual home amongst us. ***** WHO IS DOING WHAT, WHEN? ARE THEY HERE TODAY??? The smooth running of St Alban’s Sunday services does not happen by itself. A team of people are required every single week, to do all kinds of duties, from assisting the Chaplain, reading the lessons, putting up hymn numbers, doing the flowers, cleaning the linen and the brass work, and not least – the sidespeople who are the “first welcomers” and who work during the service as well. But who makes sure all this happens and that people are present? The person who draws up the quarterly roster has a really difficult task and here – at the beginning of the year, deserves a huge, sincere and warm thank you! For several years it was Jane Passant and for the last two years it has been Nigel Rowley. SO: from all of us to both of you: THANK YOU VERY MUCH! All lucky enough to be allocated tasks will make sure they are present when required and will do their best! And that’s a new year’s resolution we aim to keep! ~ 21 ~
