Worship in Augustana Chapel
Spring Semester - 2008

There are several changes and additions to our regular worship schedule for the spring semester.

Daily services and Eucharist will continue at our normal 11 a.m. time, Monday through Thursday.

Prayer at the close of the day (Compline) will be observed at 9:40 p.m., in the chapel on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday each week of the semester.

There will not be evening prayer Tuesdays at 5 p.m., as during the fall semester. Morning prayer will observed in the prayer circle in the east wing of the chapel, Monday through Friday from 7:30-7:55 a.m., allowing students to get to 8 a.m. classes.

These early morning services were initiated by Fabian Kroll and Peder Hinderlie during the fall term, and the services vary from day to day. Sometimes, the group prays/sings morning prayer from ELW, allowing a few minutes for silent meditation. On other days, most of the service is spent in silent meditation on the texts for the day, or the group may simply sing. Fabian indicates the group is open to new ideas and alternative ways for attending to God each morning before the rush of the day begins.
