Hans Nielsen Hauge Lecture: Presented by Pastor Tim Peterson

The Inspiration Hans Nielsen Hauge Can Bring to Us Now

We are excited to announce that our interim pastor Tim Peterson will be our 7^th Hauge Lecture presenter this April. Since his time with us as Interim Pastor previously, he has studied the life and works of Hauge and helped us establish a connection with the Hauge Museum in Norway. Tim has long cherished his Norwegian heritage and has memorized the Gospel of Mark in Norwegian and English and spent some time presenting that in Norway as well as in America. Last year he led a tour to Norway’s religious sites, exploring the long tradition of Christianity there. The Hauge lecture was established by those who wanted to honor the three figures in the south stained glass window in the sanctuary of Mindekirken: St. Olaf, Martin Luther and Hans Nielsen Hauge. We have always remembered Luther on Reformation Sunday, and St. Olaf during Olsok, the anniversary of his death in 1030. Now we have established the Hauge lecture as an annual event. For the centennial of the congregation the Centennial committee commissioned Dawn Sonntag, our organist and choir director for a time, and now a well known composer, to write three anthems based on hymns connected with the three people.

Free, no reservations required.

Join us before the lecture for our Lapskaus Luncheon at 12 pm.
