As Augustana prepares for its pastoral search, Transition Team is offering a series of small group opportunities that we are calling Listening Circles. A Listening Circles is a group of 3–5 people, facilitated by a trained leader, who will discern the direction of Augustana together. Listening circles are a confidential, safe space where everyone has the opportunity to express their opinions without fear of judgment. We have a unique opportunity to reflect on where we have been, who we are now, and what we hope for in the future, and these listening circles will help guide the conversation.

We will be offering these circles on Sunday mornings in August and September. We will have time slots at 9:15 a.m. and at noon.

Today’s 9:15 a.m. Listening Circle is reserved for conversation with Augustana’s youth. Visit this link to see other available times and to register for a Listening Circle.
