Dear church family,
I hope you had a chance to celebrate Thanksgiving this past week. It might not have been the same celebration as other years, but there is still much for which we can be thankful. It’s evident that we will be operating under covid 19 guidelines for some time to come. I appreciate the creative ways Augustana people have found to continue being a community of faith. Many groups are still safely meeting with in-person physical distance or zoom or a combination of both. We are becoming more used to worship on-line and singing our praise with gusto in our own homes. We are learning how to worship safely in person in a small group. The choir is learning new ways of singing praise to God. And so on and so on. THANK YOU for being a community of faith that is willing to adapt without complaint.
I want to remind you that there are people who will pick up and deliver groceries or medication if you need help. The church office has the list of volunteers.
Saskatoon lost a very special person when local youth advocate Brandon Applegate was murdered this month. Brandon is the grandson of Doug and Dorothy Reid who were members at Augustana until their move to Abbottsford, BC. Please keep Brandon’s family in your prayers.
