Worship, Eleventh Sunday after Pentecost

Posted on by jimvondracek

We have begun in a limited way to worship in-person at Augustana, with a careful eye to each other’s health and well-being. We are all looking forward to being able to worship together, on Sunday and midweek, in various forms and formats, as we adjust to the changing public health situation. As some of us won’t be able to join in-person, because of health considerations, we will continue to use these worship videos as another form of gathering the community. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact Pastor Goede.

For today’s worship, please click here for an online version of the lectionary or click the download button for a printable PDF.
