For more than three decades, Augsburg University has ushered in the Advent and Christmas seasons with Advent Vespers, a magnificent experience of music and liturgy, focusing on the theme of preparation and culminating in the joyful celebration of the Incarnation. Advent Vespers is set in downtown Minneapolis\u00a0in the sanctuary of Central Lutheran Church, and this year Advent Vespers services will occur November 29\u2013December 1<\/strong>. To learn more or request reservations, visit https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/advent-vespers\/<\/p>\n Velkommen Jul is one of Augsburg\u2019s most beloved traditions. It\u2019s an event that celebrates the university\u2019s Norwegian heritage and ushers in the Advent season.<\/p>\n Come join us Friday, November 30, at 10:30 a.m., in Hoversten Chapel<\/strong> for a special chapel service\u2014with Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish carols, Scandinavian dancers, and the Gospel read in Norwegian. Wear your Scandinavian sweater, if you have one; it\u2019s a tradition to take a group sweater photo!<\/p>\n Following chapel, the festivities continue in Christensen Center. Shop in the boutique for unique gifts and homemade goodies, and make sure to visit the buffet featuring lefse, krumkake, and other treats. The buffet is complimentary, but donations are greatly appreciated. All proceeds from the event support Augsburg student scholarships.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 39the Annual Advent Vespers For more than three decades, Augsburg University has ushered in the Advent and Christmas seasons with Advent Vespers, a magnificent experience of music and liturgy, focusing on the theme of preparation and culminating in the joyful celebration of the Incarnation.
