25: A fond farewell to Pastor Phil

A photographic countdown to July 4th

The pews were full at Stavanger Lutheran Church in August 2024 as the congregation gathered for Pastor Phil’s final Sunday service after more than 30 years of dedicated ministry. With hymns filling the air and heartfelt words from the pulpit, the church marked the end of an era—honoring a beloved pastor whose legacy of faith, leadership, and kindness will remain deeply rooted in this tight-knit Norwegian-American community.
