WELCOME
Many people feel hopeless today. As followers of Jesus, we carry hope, and we are called to love our neighbours and to be salt and light in the world. Now is not the time to retreat into our churches, but to step forward boldly and, through God’s power and love, transform hopeless situations. For with God, all things are possible! A warm welcome to a weekend of inspiration and service!
Markus Österlund, Senior Pastor at Andreaskyrkan
