The speaker will be Dr. Jason Mahn, Professor of Religion at Augustana College.

The service concludes with a procession to the Jenny Lind Chapel, which is illuminated by many candles, and where Holy Communion will be celebrated to the strains of familiar Christmas carols.

Refreshments will be served in Luther Hall immediately after the service.

The Chapel and museum will be open every day, 9 am to 5 pm, April through October.

The building is air conditioned, for your comfort and to help preserve the artifacts. A five minute narrated slideshow about the history of the Chapel may be viewed on the iPad located on the desk in the museum. You may listen to the narration in English or Swedish. We also have a Facebook page.
