Augsburg University’s Christensen Center for Vocation (CCV) stewards initiatives that are committed to “place-based vocational discernment in the public square for the common good.” One of their current projects is the creation of a book, written by young adults for congregational communities and leaders. Its chapters take on a variety of themes that weigh heavy on the hearts of this generation. In sharing stories, wisdom, critique and imagination for new ways to be community together, the writing community hopes this book will gift those who read it with an invitation into conversations that really matter, not just to young adults, but to the well-being of all of creation.
Book editor and CCV’s Managing Director, Kristina Frugé will be joining Lake Fellowship to share the story behind this project, several of its key learnings and what these insights might inspire within our community.
Kristina’s core vocational calling centers around remembering what it means to be human and creating community around that work with others. She has had a variety of opportunities to do this leading three different learning communities of congregations at Augsburg’s Riverside Innovation Hub who are discerning their call to be vital neighbors. And she has sought to do this type of work in previous roles as a community builder, youth director, social worker, and even in her current side gig as her 16 year old’s soccer team manager. She most importantly brings this calling to be human into her work as a mother of three lovely children who she is raising with her best friend and husband Nick. And because their family loves all types of outdoor adventures and never wants to be bored, they also have two high-spirited vizsla pups.
