Stage set for rich fellowship in August

The next Scandinavian conference is set to break all previous attendance records. When the deadline for signing up (without an extra fee) ran out at midnight on May 15, no less than 98 adults and 18 kids have signed up. This doubles last year's attendance and promises five days of great fellowship around God's Word on August 5-9.

"We could not be more excited to see so many people sign up for this year's conference. There are a lot of new people who are coming for the first time, but also a lot of familiar faces from the previous years. We can't wait to see everyone," says Joel Wickström, who is involved in the planning of the conference.

All those who have signed up will soon receive an email with more practical information.

Women in Scandinavia Refreshed at Retreat



This past weekend was the 2nd annual Calvary Chapel Scandinavia Women's Retreat with women attending from Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Latvia, Germany and the US.

It was a sweet time of reflection as a record attendance of 25 women looked at God's makeover of the heart in Ezekiel 36 taught by Inga-Lill Guzik from CCBC in Siegen, Germany. Annie Johnson and Karen Holdcraft accompanied Inga-Lill from CCBC Siegen and blessed the women by serving practically and by leading worship.

Taking place in the beautiful setting of the Swedish countryside just north of Stockholm (click on photo), there was lots of talking, walks in the woods, prayer and fellowship and of course plenty of "fika" (Swedish for coffee and all kinds of goodies)!
