A Lifetime Gift with Shelly Halverson

200 1st Ave, Nome, ND
Nome Schoolhouse

Join the Northland Thrivent Member Network for an in-person workshop with Certified Celebrant Shelly Halverson, where we'll explore one of life's most important - and often avoided - conversations.


We carefully plan for many of life's milestones - weddings, college, vacations, and retirement - yet planning for the end of life can feel overwhelming or uncomfortable. This workshop, A Lifetime Gift, is designed to gently guide you through that process in a supportive and encouraging environment. 


Shelly will share practical tools to help you start and navigate these important discussions with loved ones. In addition, you'll receive a take-home binder filled with simple, actionable steps to help you organize your wishes and ensure nothing important is left unspoken. 


You'll leave the workshop not only with meaningful insights, but with a powerful tool already in hand to help you take the next steps with confidence.



No products will be sold. This event helps Thrivent demonstrate our fraternal purpose to help more people experience financial clarity and amplify the generosity expressions of our clients. Shelly Halverson is not affiliated with or endorsed by Thrivent. The views expressed in this presentation by Shelly Halverson are their own and not necessarily those of Thrivent or its affiliates.
