Announcements

Beginning this Thursday afternoon, the Facilities team will implement a new trash collection procedure. Staff are requested to place trash bins and recycling bins outside their office doors prior to the scheduled collection time. We are asking you to place them outside your office to maintain your privacy and document security. The custodial staff will collect these items between 2 and 6 p.m. Please have your bins out prior to this. This change is intended to improve efficiency and ensure a clean and well-maintained work environment. We appreciate your cooperation and support in implementing this process. Please direct any questions to the Facilities team.

Community Announcements will be on pause through the Easter holiday break, beginning Friday, April 3 and returning Tuesday, April 7. A blessed Triduum and Easter weekend to all.

In this devotion, Karoline Lewis ’94 M.Div., Professor and Marbury E. Anderson Chair of Biblical Preaching, says that Jesus’ meal is not for cliques nor contentions but for the nourishment of all. Read today’s God Pause.

The Operations and Technology Department has planned a severe weather drill for Wednesday, April 1 at 1 p.m. The drill will commence when the city’s planned outdoor warning siren test begins at 1 p.m. This exercise is an important part of our ongoing efforts to ensure the safety and preparedness of our campus community. During the drill, we ask that all individuals follow the designated shelter procedures for their respective locations. Designated shelter areas are:

• Gullixson Hall and Bockman Hall. Tunnels and basement corridors connected by the tunnel between both buildings
• Olson Campus Center. Basement level

When the sirens sound, please proceed promptly and calmly to the appropriate shelter area and remain there until the drill has concluded by the direction of operations staff. We appreciate your cooperation and participation in helping maintain a safe campus environment. If you have any questions, please contact the Operations and Technology Department.

Augsburg University’s Campus Ministry invites you to the ninth annual Fosdick Lecture on Preaching. This year’s lecture will be delivered by Alan Storey, a renowned Gospel storyteller and facilitator of personal and political change from South Africa. A former conscientious objector during the apartheid regime, Reverend Storey has dedicated his life to the “experimental practice of the Sermon on the Mount,” working extensively on issues of social justice, human rights, and reconciliation.
Wednesday, April 15, 11:30 a.m. refreshments, 12 p.m. lecture
Hoversten Chapel, Augsburg University, 613 S 22nd Ave, Minneapolis
The event is free and open to the public. Register to receive parking and livestream information. In a time when our communities are seeking words of hope and a call back to justice, Rev. Storey’s insights on the Jesus way of peacemaking are timely and vital. We hope you can join us for this inspiring session.

In this devotion, Karoline Lewis ’94 M.Div., Professor and Marbury E. Anderson Chair of Biblical Preaching, reminds us that the Lord hears our cries—all of them. Read today’s God Pause.
