Velkommen til bords: A Scandinavian thank you for Fort Worth St. Andrew's Episcopal Church

In appreciation of the use of the facilities of St. Andrew's Church the Hvor Vesten Begynner (Where the West Begins) Lodge 1-654 Sons of Norway treated the congregation to a Scandinavian thank you of Norwegian baked goods. Lodge members meet on a Saturday morning in the church kitchen to start the baking.

On Sunday we greeted the congragation as we told what Sons of Norway is and demonstrated making lefse. Those lodge members who helped were (in order of photos below) Barbara Murphy, David Williams, Kermit Anderson, Alissa , Cathy Dickenson, John Eberly and J.C. White.
