My Recent Church sessions at Koivistontalo

Although it is small, Koivistontalo, located on Marjoniementie 7, is a beautiful and lively place. I have recently just went there for only 2 times, and it already have had an huge impact on my life. I met a lot of new people, who were really kind, including my new friends.

The first session was really good, I met many new people there. I was also very lucky to witness a piano performance!

But, the most memorable part was the Church expedition to a lake which took place in the last Saturday. I forgot the lake’s name, but it isn’t important compared to my experience of the trip. And boy, let me tell you all about the experience I had there!

When we first arrived there, we explored the lakeside cottage. It was very cozy and warm. Almost like the feeling of having a hot cocoa on a depressing but cool cloudy day. There were musical instruments, board games, and a projector to present videos. And we began by watching some videos, which really made me think a lot about life and, yes, superpowers. I also liked how the people in the videos described the holy spirit as an interconnection. Also, kudos to the animation team who worked on those videos. I really loved it!

After that, we went to the deck, where we saw the beautiful sunlight and the lake all around us. It was then that I decided my lifelong goal to be able to swim that distance of the lake all by myself 💪. Then we had the Marshmallow cooking sessions at the bonfire, and… as expected, I burnt a marshmallow. But I swear it was because the smoke was targeting my eyes 😁. Anyways, we had a great time at the bonfire, too.

The food was really good, I liked it so much that I ate a lot at lunch, and because of that I couldn’t properly eat dinner 😔. Also, we never went hungry for the whole day.

After lunch, we headed for the chapel. And again this day, I was lucky enough to witness both piano and a singing performance at the same time! This was my second time hearing someone play piano such beautifully and my first time hearing someone sing so beautifully as well! Then we had some videos and music session, and sorry again for everyone from the church, I messed up at some parts. I really have some clumsy hands… 😅 We also congratulated the arrival of the new baby by making cards as well. At last, after the sauna, and spending some time with all, we headed back.

This was one of the best moments in my life!

PS: I am really grateful to everyone for being so friendly & fun!
