There’s something for everyone at Augustana this Advent!

Pick up a devotion book for Advent
Advent starts December 3! Prepare by getting your devotion book. Copies of Come, Emmanuel will be available at Sanctuary entrances starting Sunday, November 19. This booklet contains a brief daily scripture, quote, story, and prayer to deepen in faith from Advent through Epiphany (January 6, 2024). Your gifts to the church make it possible to provide these devotionals at no charge. You may also order an ebook version from augsburgfortress.org.
Advent Adventure is December 3
Augustana hosts Advent Adventure for people of all ages, Sunday, December 3, following 10:30 a.m. worship until 2 p.m. Enjoy arts and crafts, a taco bar lunch, and a time to connect over lefse and Christmas goodies. There will be a table where you can bring gently used toys, puzzles, books and games for others to take home or to regift as Christmas presents. Plan now to join this beloved multigenerational Augustana tradition!
Adult Forum
Sundays, December 3, 10, and 17, 9:15 a.m., Anna Paulson Room
“A December Twist”
Pastor Caitlin will lead a three-week series that reflects on the infant Jesus’ body in the Christmas story, the body of Christ as a body of its own, and the last year of Augustana’s life together including Pastor Caitlin’s cancer story. This is a time to pause in the current moment while we wonder about the past and dream with hope about the future. December twists together the end of the monthly calendar year and the beginning of the church year in Advent. It’s a good time to pause and reflect. Come join the conversation.
