SUMMARY:Health Commons
DESCRIPTION:The Augsburg Central Health Commons\nAnyone looking for diapers\, hygiene supplies\, one-on-one nurse consultations\, or just to have a place to sit and rest are welcome. Volunteers often spend time visiting with members of the community\, distributing donations\, and setting up the space. Faculty\, students\, and volunteers also provide basic care such as blood pressure checks or basic foot care. The hope is that the moments here can allow guests to address their health needs as they deem necessary\, and the work can lead to addressing health inequities and foster healing.

SUMMARY:Fall Bible Study
DESCRIPTION:The Letter to the Philippians: A Contemplative Life of Joy\nWednesday evening Bible Study resumes for the fall on October 7\, 6 p.m.\, in person or on Zoom. \nPaul’s letter to the Philippians is often remembered for its joyful tone: “Rejoice in the Lord always.” Philippians is a deeply contemplative letter\, as well. Paul extends an invitation to see Christ\, ourselves\, suffering\, community\, and the future from a different center. At the heart of the letter is a contemplative movement: to behold Christ\, to allow Christ’s mind to shape us\, and to live from the deep joy and peace that emerge from that vision. \nYou are invited to join this four-week Bible study\, led by Pastor Peter. A study guide will be available on the website\, along with the Zoom link if you choose to join online. \nPlan to attend all four sessions or join when you are able; each session stands alone. \nBible Study Guide \nJoin Online

SUMMARY:Listening for God Contemplative Prayer
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to join the Listening for God contemplative prayer group at any time. The group gathers each second Sunday of the month at 12:30 p.m. Pastor Peter leads this prayer gathering grounded in various contemplative prayer practices. Each month a practice is introduced and then experienced. For those that wish to share\, we pause to reflect on the experience and how God is present. It is also a time when you do not need to share anything\, simply be present for this time of prayer. We gather in the prayer space in the back corner of the sanctuary and wrap up by 1:30 p.m.

SUMMARY:Adult Forum
DESCRIPTION:Anchored in the theme\, “The Welcome of a Steadfast God: Inviting All the Questions\,” our learning will focus on the intersections of faith and daily life. Because each of us has experienced faith differently\, we each have our own story of places and experiences of God’s steadfast love. Through a variety of topics\, we will unpack and seek understanding of God’s presence and continued relationship with us. Guest presenters this fall will include Dr. Gary Simpson and Dr. Marty Stortz. Come with your questions. How has God been (or not been) steadfast for you? \nNovember Adult Formation Schedule \n  \nOctober Adult Formation Schedule \n  \nSeptember Adult Formation Schedule \n

SUMMARY:Worship (Sa)
DESCRIPTION:Saturday evening worship is a contemplative communion service. Whichever pastor is preaching on Sunday\, preaches and leads worship on Saturday night. The service is guided by a contemplative sense: a slower pace\, room for silence\, and a simpler service order. The altar is on the main floor\, and much of the music is led from a piano within the gathered community. The service is generally about 45 minutes long\, with 40-50 people regularly gathering. After worship\, there is a social time with non-alcoholic beverages\, wine\, beer\, and finger food like cheese and crackers\, dip\, and sweets. \nJoin the Livestream

They will also host two “Ask an Expert” times for you to interact with an expert in homelessness. Our experts will be people from Street Voices of Change. This will be held after the 5 p.m. Saturday service and after the 10:30 a.m. Sunday service. The Adult Forum on October 11 will feature Pastor Melissa discussing how a steadfast God\, full of mercy and loving kindness\, is found in community. \nSabbath to End Homelessness will be in October this year because we have recently joined the National Faith Coalition to End Homelessness and they invite congregations to have a Weekend to End Homelessness on October 10-12. This newly formed coalition is focusing on helping congregations move from a model of mission and charity to a model of accompaniment and solidarity.

SUMMARY:Fall Bible Study
DESCRIPTION:The Letter to the Philippians: A Contemplative Life of Joy\nWednesday evening Bible Study resumes for the fall on October 7\, 6 p.m.\, in person or on Zoom. \nPaul’s letter to the Philippians is often remembered for its joyful tone: “Rejoice in the Lord always.” Philippians is a deeply contemplative letter\, as well. Paul extends an invitation to see Christ\, ourselves\, suffering\, community\, and the future from a different center. At the heart of the letter is a contemplative movement: to behold Christ\, to allow Christ’s mind to shape us\, and to live from the deep joy and peace that emerge from that vision. \nYou are invited to join this four-week Bible study\, led by Pastor Peter. A study guide will be available on the website\, along with the Zoom link if you choose to join online. \nPlan to attend all four sessions or join when you are able; each session stands alone. \nBible Study Guide \nJoin Online
