Doldrums is an Old English word rooted in dol, that is, foolish. Frankly, I don't sense the doldrums right now. Certainly a new context breaks routine. I think there is more which energizes our winter slump. Our life together at Augustana is not, I think, in a sluggish state.
Worship is rich and full.
More and more people pause during their busy week to gather around Word and Sacrament at Augustana. We carry God's Spirit of grace into the community. It's important that everyone share their insights and ideas about improvements. Youth are being singled out as an area where we will give more care. The torch bearers and crucifers serve us in worship.
