Welcome to Where Faith Meets Life!
Children are Right Where They Belong in Worship at Augustana!
Augustana warmly welcomes the wiggles and giggles of children in worship. Families have several options for worshiping with their children:
Pray ground. Soft toys, books, blocks and child-size table and chairs await your child in the Prayground located toward the front of the Sanctuary.
Worship bags for Children. Pick up a bag as you enter the Sanctuary and let your child explore the contents including fidget toys, easy-to-understand card describing parts of worship, images of some of the people they will frequently see in worship (pastors, organists, etc).
Nursery. Our nursery is conveniently located right outside the Sanctuary if your child just needs a break from worship. It is staffed on Sunday mornings at 8:30 and 9:45, Wednesday evenings from 5:50 to 8:00, and as needed for other events and activities.
Holy Communion
Holy Communion is the part of our worship life, which sustains followers of Jesus Christ. God’s gifts of grace, forgiveness, and new life received through faith come to us in this meal. Augustana invites all who believe in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior to participate as his guest at his table.
Holy Communion is celebrated on the first and third Sunday of every month, and occasionally at other times throughout the month, at the 8:30 and 9:45 am services. Holy Communion is celebrated every Sunday at the 11 am service.
First Communion
Augustana welcomes children in 2nd grade and older to participate in the First Communion class. Classes are held in February or March. Students and parents must attend one of the classes to be part of the First Communion service. We celebrate First Communion for children on Maundy Thursday.
