The good news is clear, Christ is Risen, Alleluia. Life continues at Easter. As the Gospel closes, we immediately move into Acts. The future is focused and full of hope as the people of God tell of the wonders of God. Grace abounds when the future is decisively affirmed by God.
Acts leads the church out to invite all people everywhere to join in the celebration of grace.
We at Augustana are impacted by this grace. We step into worship with full voice and joyful heart. We embrace fellow worshipers with a greeting of peace. We move into the community, inviting others to join us in this arena of spirit-filled life. The council's main goal was to deliberate on where Augustana will be in 5 years.
