Fellowship Ahoy!

Once more in all these years in our work with international students and other folks we’d like to welcome everyone interested in Christian fellowship to join in at our weekly gatherings at St. Luke’s Chapel (Yliopistokatu 7). Our ‘fellowship’ is big enough to host you, and even if you have your doubts with the Christian faith, it’s worth to give it a try. Besides worship meetings there’s also a lot of other Activities, such as Bible studies, for the Bible is sort of the ‘compass’ in our individual and congregational life… Oh yes, perhaps you’d first like to get to know us: We are an interdenominational, Bible-believing group, consisting mostly of people around the world who’ve settled down in Oulu or somehow got stuck in the ‘haven’ of this wonderful city. Have a look at our Statement of Faith and browse through this blog (‘log book’) to find out more. If you wish and you are a new foreign or Finnish student, you may meet us also in person at the “Culture and Life” event on Saturday, 12.9. at 11.00-14.00 in the Kirkkotorin koulutuskeskus (Asemakatu 5). The event is arranged by the student unions OYY and OSAKO, and there will be a lot of interesting programme. We will have an info stand and a questionnaire to answer, where you can win a fabulous prize! Welcome Aboard! (BF)

Church at the Peedo’s Home

What Is The Church from David Tate on Vimeo.

Hi there, this coming Sunday 6.9. there won’t be a worship meeting at St. Luke’s chapel, so everyone is invited tothe Peedo’s place to have “home church” at the regular time of 15.30. We can have a pot luck dinner fellowship afterwards,so bring along some food to share. The Peedo residence is: Kylmasentie 3 in Pateniemi. For those people without cars, there was the suggestion that they meet at St Luke’s chapel just before 15.30 and people with cars can pick them up and bring them round to the Peedo’s place. If you need a lift, please inform someone with a car, or Marja Peedo so it can be arranged. Also, the no. 20 bus comes past our house. (The bus stop is Kuivasojan koulu). Welcome! Blessings in Jesus name! (MP, +358 40 7078816, marja.peedo@ope.ouka.fi).
