160th Anniversary – 160 Days of Prayer
From Monday 10 February until Sunday 20 July we are inviting anyone and everyone to join in a simple daily prayer – at home, at work, wherever you are. If you can, please just take a little time at 12 noon to say these prayers (there will also be paper copies at church). We hope that every day we have at least 2 or 3 or more people gathered “together” wherever you are, forming a virtual prayer group.

160 Minutes Silent Auction
In honor of St. A’s 160th anniversary, we’re organizing a silent Time & Talent Auction, which will be online from 31 July – 31 August. We have several lovely offerings already but there’s always room for more.
If you have a skill, a service, a superpower that you would be willing to share or teach someone else for 160 minutes, we would love to auction it off. Just send a short paragraph (2-5 sentences) describing the skill or service you’ll be offering. Be sure to include what makes it special and the estimated value if you were providing this professionally. This helps us set an appropriate minimum bid. And if you have a photo or graphic of you, the offering, or both – that would be great. Please send it all to Linda Bredvik (linda(a)bredvik.com) by 25 July.

We also ask for your support for our 160 x 160 Anniversary Appeal. In a 5-year project from 2015–2019 much essential work on the church was carried out. But there is still – always – work to be done! The goal is for (at least) 160 people to give €160 for our 2025 renovation projects. On the occasion of our 160th anniversary we want for example to restore the Apse/chancel (damp treatment, replastering, and repainting for at least €45,000) and upgrade the sound system (new loudspeakers for around €3.300), as well as further work inside and outside: The more we raise, the more we can do!
