Noon — ”Crosswalk”—meet at Bandshell
A more “family friendly” way to observe Good Friday. We will start at noon at the Bandshell in Halfway Creek Park in Holmen and walk through the community, pausing at places for song, prayer and scripture. We will end up at Holmen Lutheran with an indoor worship focused on the seven last words of Christ.
1:00 p.m. – Good Friday Worship—at Holmen Lutheran Church
7:00 p.m. – Good Friday Tenebrae Service—at Halfway Creek
Tenebrae means darkness or shadows. At the final word, the church will be immersed in total darkness. The focus on rising darkness reminds us of the suffering of Jesus on the cross. This is one of the most moving and powerful services of the year.
