Porridge and Conversation

The breakfast gatherings held at Ännälä since 2004 will resume at the beginning of September. First, catch up with a friend over a bowl of porridge. After breakfast, a one-hour programme follows, featuring a different topic each week, with talks and discussion. Topics include health information, art and culture, travel stories and spiritual themes. The morning programme concludes with a short devotional after coffee and sweet buns.
