Maundy Thursday Worship Service – 6:00 P.M.
You and your entire family are invited to join us on Thursday, March 24, for a soup dinner and communion service. On this night we remember and celebrate the supper Jesus shared with his disciples. The meal of soup and bread will be served family style and we will have a time of worship including communion. We will serve each other communion at the tables – it is a unique experience to serve each other communion and we invite all to participate in this evening!
Good Friday Schedule
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. The worship service begins at 1:00 P.M.
7:00 P.M. – Good Friday Tenebrae Service @ 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 and forsakenness of our Lord in payment of the penalty for our sins.
