Mars månad inleds med församlingsdag, gudstjänst med Mikael Sandgren och Manilla, Årsmöte, Lunch, Semlor & Sång, samt blicken mot framtiden. Och mars månad avslutas med Påsken och påskfirande. Vad som händer dessemellan återkommer vi till.

Först och främst vill församlingsledningen rikta ett tack till alla er som är medlemmar i Church of Sweden, Los Angeles. Det betyder mer än ni tror att ni vill vara medlemmar och att ni tycker att Svenska kyrkan har en viktig roll i Los Angeles området och i Kalifornien. Vi är drygt tusen medlemmar nu. Alla har inte möjlighet att ta sig till kyrkan men vill ändå vara del av församlingen. Alla har inte möjlighet att betala medlemsavgift men kan stötta församlingen ändå. Allt som görs av er medlemmar och alla som vill höra till kyrkans sammanhang är ovärderligt, och en förutsättning för församlingens arbete bland svenskar och för svenskar, svensktalande, svenskättlingar och alla som känner sig hemma i den svenska traditionen.  Kyrkan är ingenting utan sina medlemmar. Och kyrkan skulle vara tom utan de som vill samlas där, så Tack allihop!

På söndag har ni möjlighet att bidra med er närvaro då vi har en kort gudstjänst direkt följt av årsmöte då vi bland annat väljer styrelse.

Har du inte möjlighet att närvara i kyrkan så finns det möjlighet att ansluta via zoom. Men då får man inte lunch eller semlor tyvärr...

 

The month of March will be a month full of happenings, starting this weekend with Church service held by musician Mikael Sandgren and Senior Pastor Manilla. The shortened Sunday service will be followed by the Members Annual Meeting where Board members will be elected. Lunch and” semlor” will be served and we will discuss the future of Church of Sweden, Los Angeles. Members who will be unable to attend the Annual meeting in person will be given the opportunity to attend via zoom. 

The month of March ends with the grand finale of Easter and celebration of Easter Sunday and I will soon tell you more about happenings during the month of march. But first I would like to take the opportunity to thank all of you members of Church of Sweden, Los Angeles. It means a great deal that you are a member, in fact, it cannot be valued in numbers or gold. But everyone is truly valuable. All of you cannot come to church but everyone counts and is still part of the congregation. Every one of you does not have the possibility to pay for membership but you still belong. Some of you contribute with hours of work to support each other and the church. And some of you support the Church in its work through donations and all that you do is valuable to someone in need and to everyone who is a fellow swede, by birth, by ancestry or by swedish tradition. We now have more than a thousand signed up members, supporting our church in many different ways.

With gratitude: Thank you for everything!
