Welcome!
The Jenny Lind Chapel hosts special events throughout the year including the annual Founders Day service in April, Sunday evening vespers during the summer, the Swedish Högmässa service in September, and the "Joy of Christmas" service in early December.
Ron Peterson Memorial Garden - Dedication
Sunday, June 7, 9:30 am
In honor of Ron Peterson who died in June 2024, the Chapel Board authorized the installation of a beautiful garden near the northeast corner of the Chapel. It features a bench and an array of flowers that are maintained by groundskeeper Kevin Clark.
The garden will be dedicated on June 7 during the 9:30 am Worship Service of Augustana Lutheran Church in Andover. This service will be held outside on the church grounds followed by a short walk to the Chapel for the garden dedication. In case of rain, both events will be held inside the church. All are welcome!
