The Drive-thru Nativity Needs you! Friday, 12/18 & Saturday, 12/19 Volunteers of all ages are needed to help make our drive-thru nativity a great event. Volunteers are needed to be in the drive-thru scenes (no lines to memorize or perform), help with traffic flow, work in the Bethlehem Market and other general duties. Take a look at our Sign-Up genius post for available positions. This would be a great opportunity for youth of all ages, adults and especially confirmation youth who need to earn a Faith Habit Practice.

Lowell Steenberg turns 90! On December 22, long time Augustana member and staff employee (Yes - he’s still punching a time clock!), Lowell Steenberg will celebrate his 90th birthday. While we would love to all gather and commemorate the day, the pandemic prohibits us from doing so. We hope to plan something in 2021, but we don’t want to let the big day go by without recognizing this special milestone. We are asking for all of you to send Lowell a birthday card, something we know he would enjoy receiving! Please mail directly to Lowell (most of you have the church directory and can find his address there), or send the card in care of the church office and we’ll be sure to deliver to him. Thank you for helping celebrate Lowell – he’s special to us here on staff as well as to Augustana!
