7/28/2019 Prayer Weekend Info

2/4

IntroductionThanks for your interest in the

Stockholm Prayer Weekend. The aim of

the weekend is to pray for the city of

Stockholm and for the new church

plant. Weve tried to arrange theprogramme so youll also have some

to time to explore and appreciate

Stockholm. Its a beautiful city.

One point to add weve discovered

that one of the Swedish princesses is

getting married on the 8th so expect

to see a few more Swedish flags!

CostAs some people will be paying for travel costs and

accommodation we have decided there will be no

additional cost for the conference, however if

anyone wants to make a donation towards the cost

of the conference that would be very much

appreciated. Lunch will be provided on the Saturday.

The local currency is

the kronor but you canpay for most things by

credit or debit card.

Getting hereIf youre coming from the UK there are a number of

airports and cheap flights to choose from; Ryanair

fly to Vsters and Skavsta. Although they will say

its Stockholm both are in other towns about an

hours bus ride to Stockholm and costs 248kr returnto Stockholm. There are plenty of buses direct to

Stockholm timed in conjunction with the flights.

Scheduled airlines mostly fly to the

main international airport, Arlanda,

which is about 35 minutes north of

the city. There areregular buses which

cost 198kr return. There is also an

express train service which speeds youinto the city in just 20 minutes. It costs

from 325kr return but you can get 2

tickets for 380kr if youre travelling

with someone.

The cheapest way into the city is take a pendaltg (commuter train) from the

airport and costs 75kr one way. You can buy tickets at the airport train station.

Getting aroundStockholm has an excellent public transport network, including boats, buses,trains and an underground (T-bana) all of which make it very easy to get around

the city. You may want to buy a travel card which costs 230kr for a 72hr ticket and

gives you unlimited travel on all forms of public transport.

In the city centre many places are walkable and if the weathers good nothing could

be finer. For some of the sights of the city visit theStockholm Tourism website.

Accommodation

There are plenty of youth hostels and hotels inStockholm. If youre coming as a group we suggest

having a look at Air BnB and staying in a flat or

house. This is likely to be the most cost-effective

option. As a small church plant we dont have the

means to house conference guests.

Both conference venues are near underground

stations and as a result of the excellent public

transport you should have little problem getting

from your accommodation to the conference venueno matter where in Stockholm youre staying.

Conference VenuesWere meeting in two different venues

over the weekend. On Saturday 8th

June were using a Salvation Army

church. The address is

Sdermannagatan 44 in theSdermalm district. Its a short five

minute walk from two T-bana stations

(Skanstull or Medborgarplatsen) on

the green line.

On the Sunday were meeting in Kista to give you a taste of one of the areas

where we currently meet. Well be meeting in theKista Trff Centrum right by the

exit from Kista T-bana. Kista is 18 minutes by T-bana from T-Central on the blue

line. Its very multicultural, the home of Stockholms IT and telecoms industry and

one of Stockholms biggest shopping centres.

ProgrammeWere still working on the details of the programme

but this should give you a good idea of how the

weekend will look.
