Healing Word Weekend — Karkun evankelinen opisto, Sastamala

The Healing Word Weekend is intended for everyone seeking understanding of their life and loved ones, longing for rest, encouragement and comfort from God's word, or wishing to practice mutual sharing, support and intercession among believers.

This year's theme is "Faith Working Through Love" - Paul and the art of living as a Christian. Throughout the weekend, Galatians is read through personal experience, Paul's teaching on Christian living is explored, and the reliability of God's promises is examined. The work takes place through lectures, group discussion and small group work, as well as outdoor activities when weather permits. Additionally, participants sing together and have the opportunity for personal conversation with a spiritual counselor. The course is led by pastor, author and nature photographer Erkki Jokinen.
