In honor of her 65th birthday, a hymn written by Grindal and Dawn Sonntag will be performed. A hymn by Lisbeth Smedegaard Andersen will also be performed.
Dinner will begin at 5:30 p.m., followed by the program at 7 p.m. A free-will donation will be taken during the program, with all proceeds going to the Luther Seminary FRIENDS Endowed Scholarship Fund. This event is open to the public.
