Advent 2

So I went to a different church today. To begin the building was very modern.  This one was an international church and a bit evangelical.  They had a band, with an acoustic guitar, base guitar, drums and piano, and a praise team.  

It is very large with at lease two sanctuaries.  They do services in Swedish, English, Polish and Korean. There is a team of ministers that do the various services.  Some do them in two or three languages.  It is called Immanuel Church (Immanuelskyrkan in Swedish).  It is part of the Equmenia Church of Sweden.

My experience was very different than the last one also. It was a very friendly and welcoming place.  It was also nice to see so many children.  There must have been at least 50 children come up for the Children's Corner.

The service was really nice and very Adventy.  The sermon was especially empowering and gave you something to take home and ponder for the week.  It was in Odenplan, just north of Stockholm City, which is 20 minutes closer to home.  I may just go back for the Children's Christmas pageant next Sunday.  It definitely put some sunshine into another rainy day is Stockholm.
