Nelson</b></span><br><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->The OSL congregation has a rare opportunity to celebrate a community anniversary: Stephen Ministry has been a part of this church community for 28 years! Currently active Stephen Ministers and Stephen Leaders are listed below in hopes that the entire congregation can recognize their ministry. Each person’s tenure as a Stephen Minister is shown in parentheses, and Stephen Leaders are denoted with an asterisk. The list does not include a large number of Stephen Ministers who are not currently active but who completed the training and served with diligence and compassion for a significant period of time. Please pray for all of them and give thanks for their ministry. Please also remember in prayer those who have elected to participate in the Stephen Ministry training currently underway.<br><br><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><b>20–25 years</b><br><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->Arlen Viste (26 years) *<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><br><br><b>10–14 years</b><br><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->Curt Olson (11 years) *<br><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->Suzie Rusch (11 years) <br><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->Pr.
