SHARE AND HELP US SPREAD THE WORD! Peace Lutheran Ministries invites you to a special evening of music and poetry with a message of hope by author and spoken word poet Tanner Olson, along with singer-songwriter Matt Doering, at 6:30pm Thursday, Nov. 12, at Peace Lutheran Church, 3427 Adams Ave. in Saginaw.
Called “The Slow Down,” the event is a night of poetry, music and meaning – an intentional pause in a world that rarely stops. Led by Olson and Doering, this event invites you to breathe deep, reflect honestly and reconnect with what matters most. Through heartfelt lyrics, honest storytelling and a little humor, you'll be reminded that you're not alone and that hope is still here.
Olson speaks at youth gatherings and tours the country with different singer-songwriters, exploring the joys and challenges of everyday life, and offering encouragement and hope through faith. His work gives voice to experiences of grief, uncertainty, love and the ordinary moments that make life meaningful, reminding audiences of God’s presence and love through it all.
The Slowdown is recommended for guests 10 and older. Admission is free, but a freewill offering will be taken. Bring a friend and come experience the gift of faith expressed through poetry and storytelling!
