Chapel this Week

Dear Augsburg community,

In my Opening-of-the-Year President's Update, I mentioned the central role that daily chapel plays in the life of our college community. We gather every week day (and on Weekend College Saturdays) for Sabbath time, both to mark our deep connections to the church and to remind ourselves of the ways in which faith and learning are linked in all that we do here.

Daily chapel begins tomorrow morning (the first day of the semester) with a special service to mark the beginning of the year. Normally, the service would be held in Hoversten Chapel. Due, however, to the use of the chapel by the Washington Center RNC Seminar Program, we will meet out of doors, on the lawn directly outside the 22nd Avenue doors of the Foss Center, for our 10:20 a.m. service. If it rains, we'll be in Sateren Hall in the Music Building.

Pastor Sonja Hagander will preach for our Thursday chapel service, which also will be on the Foss lawn (or in Sateren if weather doesn't cooperate) at 11:20 a.m.

I will preach on Friday, when we will move back into Hoversten Chapel for our 10:20 a.m. service.

I apologize for the inconvenience of different locations for this week's chapel service and look forward to our being together as a community in worship this week and throughout the coming year.
