During the 1870s there was a significant emigration from Scandinavia to the North Island of New Zealand.

Some three thousand Danes, Norwegians and Swedes settled on land allocated by the government in Wairarapa and southern Hawkes Bay.

To minister to them, the first Danish Lutheran pastor arrived in 1878. Mads Christensen was sent to New Zealand in 1886 by the Inner Mission, an association within the Church of Denmark.

He was pastor of the Danish Lutheran congregation in Palmerston North, the region’s largest town, from 1894 to 1927.

Great food fuels great thinking.

We are seeking volunteers to provide afternoon tea for 21 Confirmands, who will be arriving directly from school.

SBLC Confirmation class will be on Monday afternoons at Langmeil.

You can contribute by bringing food or making a donation to help purchase pizza / fresh fruit.

All contributions are greatly appreciated. If you can help, please email Rachel Brown at rachelabrown83@gmail.com

Your prayers for these young people and support for the classes would be greatly appreciated.
