Talk with a deacon
Do you have something on your mind that you’d like to share with someone who will listen?
Do you need someone to talk to? You can speak with a deacon here at the library. Her name is Ann Kristin, and she is a deacon in the Kampen and Vålerenga congregations.
A deacon is someone you can talk to, someone who listens when others have something on their mind that they need to share. It can be about anything: sad things, but also happy things. It can be about something that has happened in your life, your relationships, or something you’re worried about.
A deacon is not a therapist or psychologist, but someone you can talk to. A deacon is bound by confidentiality and will not tell others what she has heard, unless it concerns something punishable by law or a situation where children are being harmed.
You don’t have to be a believer or a member of the church, and there is no charge.
Sharing your thoughts and putting them into words can make life easier.
