Gustavus Presents Christmas in Christ Chapel 2024 

At Twilight an Angel runs from Dec. 6–8 on the campus in Saint Peter.

More than 300 Gustavus Adolphus students, faculty, and staff members are gearing up for this weekend’s return of Christmas in Christ Chapel, one of the College’s most cherished annual traditions.

Four performances of At Twilight an Angel will take the stage between Friday, Dec. 6 through Sunday, Dec. 8 on the Gustavus campus in Saint Peter. The event celebrates the Christmas season with a unique blend of a musical concert, worship service, and a creative presentation of the traditional Advent and Christmas story. The services include members of the Gustavus Choir, Lucia Singers, Choir of Christ Chapel, Gustavus Symphony Orchestra, Gustavus Christ Chapel Ringers, and members of the Gustavus Dance Company. 

This year’s edition also includes a piece from special guest and Minnesota favorite Jearlyn Steele, a renowned gospel singer and motivational speaker and a longtime radio host on WCCO Radio. She will perform “Listen to the Angels”, which was written by Gustie alumni and folk duo Neal Hagberg and Leandra Peak.

The Saturday evening performance will be livestreamed and archived by Twin Cities-based Heroic Productions and is free to watch on demand for anyone who cannot attend in person or wants to relive the memories later.
