The annual Action festival was this weekend and approximately 300 youths gathered each evening to listen to music and the word of God at our church. I thought it went really well, but don’t take my word for it, since I was the head coordinator of the thing I basically ran around like a headless chicken for the whole time and only had time to attend one whole meeting, I guess I’ll see the result when I go through the evaluation sheets we had all participants fill out…
But the scope of the weekend: Fila dance team and Fila worship band participated. We had three Norwegian guys who’d all founded their own church in Norway speaking on Saturday. On both Friday and Saturday we had bands playing (Charizma from Sweden and Daniel Sandgren Diago), they also shared some thoughts about their faith. Then we had various workshops with themes like sex, photography and Israel (not connected in any way). And our own pastor Kenneth Grönroos preached on Sunday.
We had 85 youths from Österbotten attending plus 200 more from southern Finland. So we were a lot of people involved in this from the church just to make everything run smoothly. I would like to take the opportunity to thank all of you who were there and made the weekend such a good one. Thank you!
