January 22 we are celebrating the Sunday of the Word of God. The pope invites us to emphasize the importance of the Word of God both during the mass and in other ways.
We will gather in the afternoon to learn about how to read the Bible, both as a way of private prayer (lectio divina) and as a ministry of announcing God’s Word during the mass. Come and join us for moments of reflection, meditation and practicing in how to read. You can come if you are interested in helping to read during mass or if you just want to know more about how to read and understand the Bible.

We meet in Englesalen behind the church Sunday January 22 from 3 pm to 5 pm. Fr. Daniel will lead the meeting.

On the third Tuesday of the month, we will watch films with Christian content together. The movie begins at 7.30 pm. People are welcome to organize eating together after the mass that ends at 6.30.
