Christ the King Church welcomes Pastor Kirsten Drigsdahl to the pulpit on Pentecost Sunday, May 31. Pastor Drigsdahl is the pastor of the parish church of Lillerød, Denmark to the north of Copenhagen. She has one daughter, Sigrid, and a son, Simon, who was ordained this year in the Danish Church.
Pastor Drigsdahl has been a frequent guest of the congregation over the last 14 years. She first attended Christ the King Church while visiting a distant relative who lived in West University Place. Pastor Drigsdahl chose our congregation for her sabbatical in 2000. Tom and Anna Fay Williams hosted her in their home. In subsequent visits she has helped Bridget Jensen with the Danish Museum and the Lutheran congregation in Danevang. Many members have visited Pastor Drigsdahl, and the church choir sang in Lillerød during the 2006 Scandinavia tour.
