We try to have an Open House event once a month.
We often have local or visiting speakers
tell us about just about any and every topic under the sun.
We have also had revue and theatre,
we have polished organ pipes,
and once a year we have
Pork & Pea Soup.
If you would like to speak on a topic,
or if you would like to request a topic,
please contact
Pastor Birgitte Saltorp.
