Personal time 

17.00 Dinner with the community


The week starts with God. We sing, pray and read to honor God.

After this our work begins. You can call the Monday as well Meeting day. We reflect on our past week and organise the coming week. In addition, we talk about the blog structure.  As well, we are reading the book "Making Peace with the Land" by Fred Bahnson and Norman Wirzba, published in 2012. Every week, we learn new perspectives on God's nature and his creation. We also have some private time to write in our journal, read the Bible, or study Swedish. 


Tisdag (Tuesday)

Picking up a bread donation from a supermarket nearby the church

14.30 Meeting with the youth group leaders

17.00 Community Meal 


Mostly, we are using our morning to do some personal stuff like reading and journaling. 

Every Tuesday, we receive a bread donation from the Coop. It allows us to provide it to people who are in need. After picking the bread, we have a meeting with the youth group leaders. We speak about next weeks and reflect back to last Friday.  

Then it is time to begin getting ready for the evening. Wether we cook or prepare the room. At 17.OO, everyone is welcome to join our meals. During the time we are open, people get the opportunity to take a shower or choose some clothes. We have a little room for second hand clothes where people can take what they need. The evening ends with a prayer. And that means it is time to clean for us.


Onsdag (Wednesday)

8.30 Morning prayer

9.00 - 12.00 Garden work  

12.00 - 13.00 Lunch

13.00 - 16.00 Garden work

17.00 Dinner with the community


We also begin Wednesdays with a morning prayer. 

And then we start by working in the garden. To be completely honest, Fika is also consumed while working in the garden. But nevertheless it is hard work. Harvesting, preparation work for the winter, working at the chicken house. But once the snow falls and there is nothing more to do, we will cease working in the garden. During winter, we are going to use the time for other ideas. We are also going to have a leadership course, mostly on Wednesday. We will keep you posted. 


Torsdag (Thursday)

10.00 - 12.00 Open church

18.00 - 20.00 Meeting place


On Thursday morning, Valeria and I offer some program for Open Church. Whether it is baking, do handicrafts or playing games. We thought people needed a location where they have a purpose, so we created one.  On Sundays, all of the hard work will be rewarded. All of the handicrafts and cookies will be sold there. The idea is to use the money for people in need. 

In the evening, people are welcome to practice their Swedish or to read in the bible. Therefore, we cook dinner. 


Fredag (Friday)

8.30 Morning prayer

18.00 - 22.30 Youth group 


Friday morning and midday are used to be our personal time. We can do laundry, clean the apartment, read in the bible and do some grocery shopping. Mostly, we have full to-do list.

In the evening, we go to KUL, the youth group in the EFS-kyrkan. We prepare Fika and be part of the program. Sometimes we are also in charge of it.

Jamal

Oussama shares his story in the third person perspective of how he has journeyed in search of spiritual truth which has led him to Christianity.  I n the ancient city of Marrakech, Morocco, lived a young man named Jamal. Born into a devout Muslim family, Jamal grew up surrounded by the rich tapestry of Islamic traditions and customs. However, despite the vibrant culture that enveloped him, Jamal often felt a profound sense of emptiness, as if something crucial was missing from his life. One day, while navigating the bustling streets of the medina, Jamal encountered a group of Christians who were sharing their faith. Intrigued by their message of love, forgiveness, and the promise of eternal peace, Jamal engaged in conversations that sparked a spiritual awakening within him. As he delved into the teachings of Christianity, Jamal found solace in the words of Jesus Christ. The verse from Acts 4:12 resonated with him deeply: "Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other n...

Nonviolent Communication: A Language Of Compassion

Image
By Palina Tupik   Let us become the change we seek in the world. -Mahatma Gandhi Recently we’ve finished reading “Nonviolent communication” by Marshall B. Rosenberg with our community. I want to share with you the story how I was contributing to emotional violence before reading this book without even realizing it and how the thoughts from this book help me now to be more compassionate for my own needs and needs of others. Before reading it, I was sure that I’m really good at communicating with people. I thought: “Yeah, if there is a problem, I need to immediately talk with the person to solve it because this relationship is really important for me and I want to be 100% sincere with others”. But nobody taught me which words to use to talk about the problems. So, one day I said to my boyfriend Daniel*: “ I feel so sad in our relationship as you are non-initiative. Usually I organize all our meetings. Can you just initiate more so I will know that you love me?” . What was I waiti...
