Please join us for another great
Gather, Learn, Share Event
hosted by the Vision Team.

Tuesday, December 1 at 7 p.m.

Our own Eloise Hallahan will demonstrate how to make the traditional Norwegian original, Lefse in the SOV kitchen.

"Lefse is a traditional soft Norwegian flatbread. It is made with leftover potatoes, flour, butter, and milk or cream. It is cooked on a griddle."

You'll have a fun time, meet new people, and simply enjoy a new experience. Bring your friends!  
The Stephen Ministers

Stephen Ministers are lay people-Christian men and women-trained to provide one-to-one care to people experiencing a difficult time in life, such as grief, divorce, job loss, chronic or terminal illness, relocation, or separation due to military deployment.

Stephen Ministers come from all walks of life. Their commonality? A passion for bringing Christ's love and care to people during a time of need.

Since 1975, more than 600,000 people from more than 12,000 congregations and other organizations have been trained as Stephen Ministers.
