AUTUMN 2024 Anniversary Year Program
ROOM FOR HOPE
50 years of fellowship and vision
Immanuel Church in Stockholm celebrates its 50th birthday 2024! We want to celebrate that by looking back not just at what has shaped us but also looking forward to what lies ahead.
It was when four mission congregations, all formed in the 19th century, joined together in 1962 that plans for a new joint church took off. In 1974, the new Immanuel church was completed and has been the congregation’s home ever since.
Those who built the church had a strong ‘pioneer spirit’. Old patterns and beloved church buildings were abandoned to begin something new. The aesthetically bold and well-thought-out Immanuel Church would provide space for worship, children’s and youth activities, diaconal work, concerts, conferen-
ces and other events. The congregation dared to invest in the future. We want to continue doing that in our own time.
The theme for our celebration during the anniversary year is ”Room for hope”. We live in a world where there are many challenges. War, climate crisis, mental illness and polarisation. It’s no wonder we feel discouraged at times in the face of all this. But based on Christian hope, Immanuel Church wants to be involved in conveying hope for a more just and loving world.
This year’s celebration began in February with a look back and ends this fall with a look forward. During the year we celebrate with church services, concerts, culture cafes, after work, talks and parties. We raise social issues. We read the Bible and explore the mystery of
faith. We examine the role of the church in the present and future in Stockholm. Diversity, children and young people, the diaconate, our mission to the community, bring us together to seek a vision of the church of hope for the next 50 years. We want to be a church where all people, regardless of their life situation, can find hope and meaning for their lives and the world that God loves.
You are welcome to participate in our anniversary celebration!
CARIN DERNULF Senior pastor

Meeting Places

For many, music is a way to feel God’s presence. We want to offer all Stockholmers a quiet and beautiful space where you with others can experience music together.
CULTURE CAFE
•Spiritual and Existential Matters
The culture cafes are aimed at those who have an interest in society and a curiosity about spiritual and existential questions. The aim is to deepen our understanding of what is happening in society but also to give inspiration and hope, based on the Christian faith. The cafe opens at 6pm with a half-hour concert or poetry reading. Then there are opportunities to buy coffee before it is time for in-depth talks and talks. We finish around 20.30.
Katarina Barrling talks about ”Trust and missing in the time of migration” at Culture Cafe, March 19th.

The launch of Songs from Immanuel
Hi Fredrik, what is Songs from Immanuel?
– Songs from Immanuel started nearly five years ago by me and Martin Åsander as a continuation of the confirmation program Express Yourself – Konfa Immanuel. It is primarily aimed at people aged 18–25. We create music in groups based on Bible texts and prayers, which young people delve into and interpret in close collaboration with theologians. It becomes a unique way to engage with the texts and express their faith. In the first part, we focused on prayers from the Psalms.
How would you describe the music?
– Songs from Immanuel follows the tradition of places like Taizé and Iona, where repetition and meditation are emphasized. We have visited Taizé with the congregation’s confirmands and young people for several years. The music is written as prayers and has two parts: “community” (exhalation) where we sing together and contemplative, “personal” (inhalation), where the music is instrumental and often improvised. The language in both text and music aims to be everyday and accessible for young people.
Have you tested it in the congregation?
– Yes, we sing one to two songs in the Swedish service every Sunday and also use them in confirmation and youth work. The songs can serve as a complement to traditional hymns or modern worship songs. There are also instrumental versions (Meditations from Immanuel) intended for Bible meditations, combined with Bible readings and prayer stations.
Now, Fredrik and the others involved want to share the songs with more congregations.
– The songs will be available in the form of recordings and sheet music for choir in October. We will also have a release party during the joint service on October 20.
“Songs from Immanuel - New music for worship, mass, devotions, meditation, and retreat.” Don’t miss Sweden Radio’s live broadcast service from Immanuel Church on September 15, which will feature Songs from Immanuel.

p.m
At the age of 26, a newly qualified architect managed to leave Warsaw in Poland and his life behind the Iron Curtain, to look for a job in Sweden. The year is 1967. And he got a job! At Sture Frölén architects office.
This year, when Immanuel Church celebrates its 50th anniversary, we want to tell you about Marek Krajewski who is now 84 years old. Görel Byström Janarv, theologian and journalist with a great interest in design and architecture talks to Marek. He will be there and we will also show the film “Marekthe unknown architect” which Görel produced. In the film, we tell how it came about that Marek was commissioned to design Immanuel Church as his first job as an architect. What was he really thinking? The film is 30 minutes long.

CULTURE CAFE: Our Boys September 18 at 18.00 with Stina Ekblad & Mime Brinkmann, Clara Berglund, Luis Lineo, Erik Amnå and Faysa Idle
”All that glitters is not gold”
says poet Faisa Idle
On September 18th, she will visit Immanuel church’s Culture Café.
Faysa Idle, 26, grew up in Tensta and has lost both friends and family members in the Swedish gang wars. Today she works as a poet and creator. A word for blood is her debut book, which she wrote together with Daniel Fridell and Theodor
Lundgren. It has received a lot of attention. She herself has also become the subject of a radio documentary and has taken part in the national radio’s Sunday interview. There, she talks openly about how one of her brothers in his teens was drawn into crime and a life that was characterized by weapons, drugs and cash in bags and that she herself was drawn into ad-
diction. Close friends of hers were murdered - and one of her brothers met the same fate. With parents who came to Sweden from the war in Somalia, “gang conflicts” were commonplace. After a problematic upbringing, her life is about to take a new turn. She recently had the premiere of a poetry show with the title “All that glitters is not gold.”

6 p.m. Organ concert Björn Gäfvert and Hans Fagius
An organ duel takes place in Immanuel Church, in the context of the 50th anniversary. The organists will play on two different organs, one of which is, of course, Immanuel Church’s magnificent Grönlund organ. The two organists are none other than Hans Fagius, one time organist at Immanuel Church, and Immanuel Church’s current organist, Björn Gäfvert.
Our Partner churches
There is a great deal of international involvement in Immanuel. Many of us have a broad outlook on the world and commitment to the whole of the creation. This is reflected in the membership of the church. Here we meet people from a variety of countries to celebrate worship and share community.
We also have close, warm and longlasting relationships with churches in other countries. Especially with our two partner churches, N´djili in Democratic Republic of the Congo Kinshasa and Panvel in India.
Being partner churches means learning, deepening friendships and growing in understanding of each other’s contexts and life situations, both as individuals and as churches.
Right now we are looking forward to a visit from N´djili. During “International Week” the pastor, Bienvenu Samba and a singing group, will participate in our anniversary celebration.
Come and join us! Celebrate diversity and friendship across borders!

Even before concepts such as aid or development cooperation existed, the church was already working with healthcare and education, driven by a global call to help one’s neighbor. Since then, more than most other organisations, they have worked persistently in the most difficult environments. How does the church view its mission today? And how do decision-makers and other stakeholders see the role of the church? What will be the church’s role when aid policy is reformed?
Come and listen to those in power and representatives of the church and other agents in civil society. We are also joined by a singing group from Congo Kinshasa.
The conversation leader is Magnus Carlquist, a member of the Missions and Aid Committee who has many years of experience in both civil society and Swedish government aid.

CULTURE CAFE: The ways forward with the church fathers
October 16 at 18.00 Conversation; Peter Halldorf & Carin Dernulf
What can the Church Fathers teach us?
Peter Halldorf is one of Sweden’s most renowned pastors and authors. He originates from the Pentecostal Church but has a deep interest in Orthodox and Catholic spirituality and how it can enrich and deepen the Free Church tradition. Many books with this focus have come from his hand.
His base has for many years been the ecumenical community in Bjärka Säby and the journal Pilgrim, which he co-founded and was editor of for many years. His latest book is called “God’s Israel” which is a highly
topical book that reads the prophet Jeremiah in the light of the conflict between Israel and Palestine. A book circle about “God’s Israel” will also be held during the autumn in Immanuel Church.
Peter Halldorf has been invited to participate in Immanuel Church’s Jubilee Year to look into the future to help us learn today from the Church Fathers. Carin Dernulf, senior pastor of Immanuel Church, will lead the conversation in this Culture Café on Wednesday, October 16th at 6 p.m. The café starts with a half-hour concert by FRÖ, Paulina Fröling. It will be an exciting evening, full of new ideas!
Photo: Kristoffer Lignell
FRÖ originates from the Jämtlandsfjällen but has been equally at home in Stockholm for many years. With her tireless interest in the human encounter as a foundation, she writes music and lyrics that genuinely seek to meet the listener. The craft of writing and the accessibility of raw emotion are always in focus in both creation and performance.
FRÖ will play previously released works, but also new songs never before performed, from an upcoming

The premiere of Martin Åsander’s Jubilee Suite
He is a trumpeter, singer, composer, church musician, and versatile music professional. When planning Immanuel Church’s 50th anniversary, it was natural to ask him to compose music for the celebration. With a little over six months left until the premiere, we checked in with him.
Where are you in the creative process?
And what are your thoughts?
– I write with the hope that the music will be performed more than once, inspiring and being sung in the future, says Martin, elaborating: “I know the congregation quite well and am aware of the musical diversity present, as well as a desire to create together, bringing different age groups together. Therefore, it will be a jubilee suite with parts dedicated to specific groups and parts for groups together.”
What are your reflections on the 50 years?
– I enjoy reflecting on tradition and history, and everything the church, the House, carries with it like rings of a tree–people and music.
Previous church musicians and composers like Gunno Södersten and Roland Forsberg have been influential in the development of music at Immanuel. I plan to include two of their hymns: ‘Alla Guds löften’ by Södersten and ‘Öppna mig för din kärlek’ by Forsberg.
A poem that has been significant is Kerstin Gustafsson’s “Vad ska man önska en nyinvigd kyrka?”, which has become a springboard in the composing process. It encourages reflection on how things turned out 50 years later but also expresses a vision of the church’s role—encompassing all aspects of life,” says Martin. The congregation has many choirs and groups of various kinds, and it will be magnificent to utilize a large part of that: choirs, soloists, brass band, strings, woodwinds, organ, piano, and guitar. It might sound grandiose, but it will also be contemplative, meditative music. A conclusion to the jubilee year that looks forward and inward, pondering the dreams of what kind of church Immanuel can be for people,” says Martin Åsander.
The jubilee suite premieres on October 20 at 6 PM.
