Advent Vespers at Augustana

Cantor Schwandt

December 2, 9, 16, 23

Advent Vespers:  During the season of Advent we will again gather midweek for worship using the liturgy of Evening Prayer (Vespers).  This meditative service is an ideal way to focus on the season of Advent and to prepare for the celebration of Christmas.  The services will be held on Thursdays from 6:30 to 7:10 PM December 2, 9, 16, and 23 and will focus this year Magnificat:  The Song of Mary.  We will hear of Gabriel's startling announcement to Mary and her resounding song of praise.  The Magnificat echoes through the ages, reminding us of the greatness, justice, and promises of God.

Consider taking time out of a busy schedule and committing to a seasonal “Advent Discipline” of prayer and reflection on the true meaning of the season.

Hanging of the Greens:  Immediately after the service on the 16th, the “hanging of the greens” and decorating of the church for Christmas will take place.  All are welcome!
