Holmen Lutheran Church will host a Stephen Ministry Introductory Workshop from 9:00 A.M.–1:00 P.M.  Registration begins at 8:00 A.M. This half-day, three-session workshop is designed to help congregations catch a vision for strengthening their caring ministry through equipping laypeople as caregivers. During this event, participants will also develop care-giving skills they can use right away. The cost of this workshop is $15 per person or $50 for a group of four or more from the same congregation.

This is a wonderful ministry opportunity!  If you are interested in attending with Pastor Jean, please contact her.

Check out the Stephen Ministry website if you would like to learn more about this ministry

Over the past couple of years, we as a congregation have updated our constitution to reflect the activities of Halfway Creek Lutheran Church and the Model Constitution for Congregations of the ELCA. About every two years, the ELCA updates the model constitution. That was done in 2013. Our current constitution does not yet include those changes/updates. At the annual meeting we will seek approval to add these changes/ updates to our current HCLC constitution. You can view the “draft” constitution on our website . We will also have copies available at church. If you would like a copy mailed to you, please contact the church office at 608-526-3701.

The caring tree is set up in the front of the church with “gift tags” on it. Each tag lists the age and gender of a child from Holmen School District who is in need of a gift at Christmas time. There are 2 tags on the tree for each child (we have 31 children on our list); one item is clothing (pink tags) and the other is a fun item (green tags.). All  gifts are $25 or less (most children have requested items less than $25). If you would like to spend more than that , please take both tags for that child or select more tags.

Record your first name and phone numbers on the list by the Caring Tree when taking a tag. Please return all gifts (wrapped with the tag attached)  by  December 9^th to the area by the tree or drop off at the church office.
