"Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasond with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone". Colossians 4:6

S.A.L.T. is an interdenominational coalition of local churches funded in part by Prince of Peace Lutheran Church (Women's Ministry) and the Burnsville Lion's Club. The program, which consists of a 4-week fall and a 4-week spring session, is put together and arranged by the steering committee made up of representatives from the sponsoring area churches.

SALT presentations begin at 9:30 a.m. and conclude at 11:45 a.m.  Following the presentations, an optional three/four course meal is offered for only $9.00/person.  This lunch is provided by everybody's favorite caterer: Sally Johnson, Chef John and their hard-working crew.  And . . . to make your lunch experience even more enjoyable, a variety of entertainment is provided throughout the lunch hour.
