In this remarkable volume, young adults voice their concerns and laments about the church’s
past and present, as well as their hopes and dreams for the church’s future. Unlike many current books on youth ministry, this is not a book about how to attract young adults back to church. Instead, it is an invitation to listen to young adults as they offer important insights regarding the capacity of the church—and the world—to flourish going forward.
The book’s contributors candidly discuss the issues that matter most to their generation: climate catastrophe, mental health, abuses of power, meaningful relationships, inclusion and liberation, and more. As they grieve how the church has caused harm and avoided hard truths, they also yearn for the church to better embody a community centered on Jesus. Driven by a deep hunger for hope, they explore how churches can become trustworthy partners in mending people’s relationships with God, with each other, and with the earth. This poignant, powerful book is essential reading for ministry leaders, congregations, youth groups, and anyone who cares about young adults’ engagement with Christianity.

Celebrate National TRIO Day! In 1986, congressional resolution, H.Con Res. 278. declared that Saturday, February 28, 1986 should be designated as “National TRIO Day” to commemorate the annual achievements of the Federal TRIO Programs in communities across the country. National TRIO Day is now recognized on the 4th Saturday in February.
TRIO includes eight programs targeted to serve and assist low-income individuals, first-generation college students, and individuals with disabilities to progress through the academic pipeline from middle school to postbaccalaureate programs. TRIO also includes a training program for directors and staff of TRIO projects. TRIO programs currently serve more than 800,000 students throughout the United States and its territories. TRIO introduced the concept of “first-generation” college student and were the first national college access and retention programs to address barriers to education in America.
Augsburg is home to two TRIO Programs: TRIO McNair Scholars and TRIO/Student Support Services (SSS) who, combined, serve approximately 200 students annually on our campus.

Embodying Racism: A Space to Practice
This is a new affinity group that is an invitation for white-identifying faculty, staff, and administrators to explore embodying anti-racism through conversation, somatic and physical practices, and the lens of Freirean pedagogy. Everyone learns, everyone teaches.
We will have our first meeting this Thursday, February 13, from 12:00-1:00pm in Lindell Library 301. Join us for our first meeting where we’ll introduce ourselves and discuss our interests and possibilities for what we envision this group to be. We’ll also go over some logistics like meeting times and offer a short, simple practice as a way to experience some of the work we we might do together.
When: Thursday, 2/13/25, from 12-1pm
Where: Lindell Library 301
If you are not able to make it but would like to be on the list for future meetings or have general questions, feel free to email group facilitators, Nichole Rohlfsen (rohlfsen@augsburg.edu) and/or Charles Adams (adamsc@augsburg.edu).
