This is a traditional night for silliness, and the team will be auctioning off their time by the hour to the highest bidders to work as babysitters, housekeepers or yard workers. So start thinking about the storage room that needs cleaning, the garden beds that will need raking, or how nice a night out alone would be. On Transfiguration Sunday, February 25, the children in Augustana's Sunday Church School will once again bury Alleluia banners. During Sunday School classes in February the children will create the banners. You are invited to participate in the conference in ways that fit into your schedule.
Persons are welcome to attend special worship and music services.
Speakers will set the cultural and historical context of spirituality, persons will share their faith experiences, other traditions will be heard from and those who attend will hear about what congregations are doing to enhance the spiritual growth of their members. Speakers and leaders will include, among others, Mary B. Havens, professor of church history at Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary, Columbia, South Carolina, Martin Marty, professor emeritus at the University of Chicago, and David Miller, editor of The Lutheran magazine.
