Nordic Choir
Monday, January 30, 7 p.m., Sanctuary
The Nordic Choir is a 64-voice a cappella choir of highly select mixed voices from Luther College in Decorah, Iowa. In 1948, just two years after its founding by Dr. Sigvart Steen, a young Weston Noble began a 57-year tenure as music director and conductor. Together, Noble and The Nordic Choir cultivated one of the most honored choral traditions in the United States. Today, under the direction of Dr. Allen Hightower the choir still continues the time-honored choral tradition. For Nordic Choir concert tour tickets, please visit www.luthertickets.com or call 1-800-4 LUTHER.
A Night of Romance
Saturday, February 11, 6 p.m.,
Fellowship Hall
Enjoy a candlelight dinner with your sweetheart. A delicious meal will be prepared by a chef. There will be music to dine by (and dance to, if you are so inclined!) and fellowship with friends. Tickets will be on sale four weeks prior to the event. All proceeds will help support our youth on their summer mission trip.
The Concordia Choir
Saturday, February 25, 7 p.m., Sanctuary
The Concordia Choir of Moorhead, Minnesota, under the direction of Dr. René Clausen continues to affirm its reputation as one of America’s finest a cappella choirs. Since 1920, the 72-voice choir has performed in nearly every major hall including Carnegie Hall and Kennedy Center as well as numerous European tours. This year’s 2012 national tour of the Southwestern United States spans 15 days, begins in Denver, and concludes with San Francisco and Minneapolis. For tickets visit Augustana’s office, go online at www.ConcordiaTickets.com, or call 1-800-838-3006.
Spring Fling
Sunday, March 11, 3 p.m., Fellowship Hall
This congregational talent show features members and friends who want to share their talent—wacky, reposed, music, comedy, drama, etc. If you have a talent we would like to see it! So, whether you are an act or there for the incredible entertainment, you really do not want to miss this fantastic event. Space is limited; prizes will be awarded for the top vote-getters. Dessert and drinks will be served, and a free will offering will be taken.
9Health Fair
Monday, April 23 and Tuesday, April 24
The 9Health Fair has offered free and low-cost screenings and education to over one million people since 1980. Through these screenings, individuals receive the information needed to make educated choices about their health. Augustana has been a site for the 9Health Fair for 25 plus years. We partner with Congregation Emanuel, and volunteers come back year after year to help during the two-day fair. They are inspired by many things such as strengthening their community, friendship, saving lives, belief in giving back, having fun, and the knowledge that they are making a difference. Both non-medical and medical volunteers are
needed.
“All Stressed Out”
Tania Henderson, MA, NCC, LPC
Sunday, April 29, Noon, Anna Paulson Room (Lunch included)
Rather than working in survival mode, this class will increase your awareness of the red flags that stress can bring and will clarify the empowering potential of stress. Because stress affects all aspects of life, physical, emotional, cognitive and spiritual strategies are offered.
Tania is a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Colorado. She continues to seek educational opportunities, emphasizing trauma recovery, skill development and relationship health. Join us for a light lunch and lively discussion!
AVE in Concert
Sunday, May 27, 3 p.m., Sanctuary
Join AVE (Augustana Vocal Ensemble) for an afternoon of patriotic songs among other favorites in celebration of Memorial Day weekend. The name of the ensemble is both an acronym for the “Augustana Vocal Ensemble” and a term borrowed from historic writings of the Church where it is used as a greeting of highest respect and praise. Literally, it is the imperative form of the Latin verb “to be well.” The ensemble is composed of four permanent members, Margaret Morrison, soprano; Cassidy Smith, mezzo soprano; Bruce Johnson, tenor; and Tony Domenick, baritone.
