Summer Ushers and Acolytes Needed
Are you interested in helping out at worship services this summer? We typically have confirmation students and their families Usher and Acolyte, but in the summer, we open this up to anyone that wants to help. This is open to people of all ages. Families with young children may want to volunteer as a way to introduce them to serving in the church. Your duties are to light the candles before service, hand out bulletins and take up the collection. If we get enough volunteers, you may only be asked to do this once this summer. Please look for a sign up sheet during Worship services in May. You will also be able to sign up online via a link in the email announcements.

Good Friday Schedule
Noon “Crosswalk” Meet at Bandshell
Please join us so that we can walk as group from Halfway.
This is a good, active way to share the story with your whole family. We will start at noon at the Bandshell in Halfway Creek Park in Holmen and walk through the community, pausing for song, prayer and scripture.
1:00 P.M.—Good Friday Worship
We will end up at Holmen Lutheran with an indoor worship focused on the seven last words of Christ. This worship service begins at 1:00 P.M.
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 and betrayal reminds us of the suffering and forsakenness of our Lord who takes on the sins of our world.

A once–in-a lifetime journey, Walking the Bible offers new insights into the roots of our common faith and uncovers fresh answers to the most profound questions of the human spirit.”
We will walk together through the landscape, both geographical and spiritual, of the first five books of the Bible-The Torah or Pentateuch.

We will use Brian McClaren’s We Make the Road By Walking. There are individual readings for each season, questions and discussion on “what a difference an honest, living, growing faith can make in our world today.” If you are seeking a fresh way to experience and practice your faith, if you are a long-term Christian, seeking new vitality or if you feel out of place in traditional church circles, this book will inspire you in your spiritual journey.
Get coffee, come when you can and join others and Pastor Janet before she leaves.
We will order books for you if you leave your name on the sign up in the narthex.
