Summer Services

The Summer Services is an annual event of the Conservative Lestadian revival movement. It is also an international and the largest spiritual event in the Nordic countries. Conservative Lestadianism is a revivalist movement of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland.

The most important aspect at the services are the sermons, which are based on scripture, along with singing together and meeting one another. We want to relate of the secure message of the forgiveness of sins and call people unto repentance. Majority of the service guests will lodge at the service area.

In addition to the sermons, there will be a communion service in the large service tent on Saturday and a worship service and Sunday school on Sunday. Worship services are also held in nearby churches in cooperation with local congregations on Sunday of Summer Services.

All are welcome to the Summer Services. The event is free of charge.

2024 Summer Services in Pudasjärvi

If God so wills, the 2024 SRK Summer Services will be held in Pudasjärvi on June 28 – July 1, 2024.

The service area is Pudasjärvi airport, which is owned by the City of Pudasjärvi. In 2013 Summer Services were organized at the Pudasjärvi airport. The area has been developed together with the City of Pudasjärvi to better serve as a service area. Pudasjärvi is located in the northern part of North Ostrobothnia, about 100 kilometres from Oulu towards Kuusamo. Pudasjärvi has about 7 600 inhabitants.

The Peace Associations of Kuusamo, Jakkukylä, Kiiming, Posio, Pudasjärvi, Ranua, Taivalkoski, Ylikiiming and Yli-Ii are responsible for the organisation. The Kuusamon Peace Association has the main responsibility for summer club arrangements.

Our prayer is that God would guide the planning of these services. We ask that the Word of God may call one into the Kingdom of God and refresh the listeners of the word at the 2024 Pudasjärvi Summer Services.
