Global Church Worship Service

Global Church Worship Service is a multilingual and -cultural festival worship service for all ages. On stage are Anna Poutiainen, Ramez Ansara ja Dagmar Õunap from Helsinki Parish Union and Markus Silvola from Olari parish. Join us in prayer for peace and justice in the world.

The programme will be in Finnish and English. The programme will be available on-site at the Speaker’s stage and through live stream on the Festival website.

The Lutheran Church in Helsinki and Espoo will also host Yoga Experience of Silence at the festival, where festival-goers can relax by doing yoga. More information can be found on the Street Art Area page.

Regardless of our cultural, linguistic, and religious diversity, we are one. Welcome to worship with us as you are.
