Temporary church closure

Dear all,

In view of the recent decisions by the Swedish authorities, it has been decided to cancel the services on Sundays in church for the duration of these recent measures until further notice. Please note that there is also no service on 22 November, even though the restrictions are announced to be implemented by 24 November. It was not an easy decision to take,  but  it may be for the better

Stay safe and healthy!

With every blessing
Alja

Concerning the AGM OF THE CHURCH scheduled for next Sunday, November 22, the election of five new members for the church committe has been postponed to the New Year and only the vital report from our treasuer will be given – via ZOOM.
It is hoped that this will give us all an opportunity to put forward and support candidates, or even decide to take an active part in the running of our lovely church and community.

We welcome Alja

Dear all

Our new priest Alja will have her first service now on Sunday the 6th at 11.00. Let’s give her a warm welcome on Sunday!

Alja is Dutch and has a daughterfamily with grandson in Karlstad. She arrived to stay in the chaplain’s flat on Thursday and a few of us were there to welcome her, it became a warm and hopeful looking into the future!

The flat has been rejuvenated by a handful of volunteers who have planed, cleaned and rearranged the flat to make it fresh and light for when Alja came. Jeanette, Mathew, Monica, Sabu, Steven and me. See these photos taken by Sabu.

The Church is sanitised and please seat yourself with distancing, unless you are a family. Those of you who stay at home taking care, will be able to listen to the service afterwards on our webpage and through our Facebook. Also Alja will call around to those in caranteen in the coming.

Warmly welcome on Sunday. We pray our loving God for God’s blessings for Alja and the congregation Amen
