Advent Vespers, one of the largest holiday music events in the Twin Cities with over 10,000 worshipers attending annually took place this last weekend, December 5th and 6th. The event took place in the beautiful Central Lutheran Church, located downtown Minneapolis.
Augsburg plays a large role in this event with contributing volunteers, choirs, bands, and much more. The event was a spectacular show that I was fortunate enough to attend as a volunteer. Being apart of something larger than myself was a very beneficial way to spend my weekend before the last full week of classes. It was a spiritual break that is always needed when finals are arriving.
The whole week before was filled with planning, practicing, and scheduling the event; and they sure did pull it off. Also, a handful of StepUP students played a role. It is an event I suggest all to attend to witness the neighborliness of not just Augsburg, but the community of Minneapolis.
