Faith and Fitness Drawing

Runners' Silhouettes

For the month of March, keep track of the days you’ve completed fitness activities (highlight, star, or cross off your calendars that you received in the most recent newsletter).  If you’ve completed at least 10 activities during the month, fill out the online form or the forms at church.  We will hold monthly incentive drawings and after a year we will recognize those who completed 12 months of activities!

Also, if you are already active for 30 minutes or more a day, you are eligible for the drawing as well!  Simply fill out the form and indicate how you’ve been staying active.  You can also fill out a form at church and place it in the white tennis shoe located on the table near the entryway.  Thanks!

Good Friday Worship – April 3 – Two Opportunities

Cross

Noon – We will start at noon at the Band shell at 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 pm

7:00 pm – Tenebrae Service at Halfway Creek
Tenebrae means darkness or shadows.  At the final words of Jesus, our church will be immersed in total darkness.  The focus on the rising darkness reminds us of the suffering of our Lord in payment of penalty for our sins.

Lenten Theme – Everyday Grace

Purple Cross

Please join us for  dinner, worship, and discussion on Wednesday evenings during Lent.  We will have dinner at 5:30 pm and a very brief worship service at 6:15 pm.  The bulk of the evening, 6:45-7:30 pm, will be in small groups discussing our book/theme, “Small Victories: Spotting Improbable Moments of Grace” by Anne Lamott.  We will discuss ways that we can better find God’s grace and presence in everyday life.  Anne Lamott’s book includes a series of essays as to how she has experienced God’s presence, oftentimes through humorous and surprising ways – it’s a great read!

The book is available on Kindle or you can order the book here.

– Final Lenten Gathering on March 25th for 2015.
