Congregational Meeting – Result: Approved

Congregational Meeting Pic

This Sunday we will be holding a congregational meeting following the 9:00 a.m. worship service for the purpose of accepting a gift of land which will enable our congregation to bring both our existing building and building project into compliance with current zoning codes, side yard distance, and setback requirements.  Once the gift of the land is accepted, it can be rezoned so that we can commence construction with the building project.

All eligible voting members are encouraged to attend.  Per our constitution, voting members are confirmed members who have communed in this congregation and have made a contribution of record to this congregation during the current or preceding calendar year.  We will have childcare available for the meeting.  Following the meeting, we will have fellowship and refreshments!

We are looking for one or two volunteers to take the pop cans to the recycling center about once a month. 

Bill Achterkirch and Mary Ann Hadl have taken this project on for many years and we thank them for their willingness to do this.

Serve Your Neighbor Day – June 8

Serve Your Neighbor Image

The second annual Holmen Area Lutherans “Serve Your Neighbor Day” will be Sunday, June 8th.  Halfway Creek Lutheran, Journey Lutheran, and Holmen Lutheran are joining hands to serve our community.  We will gather at noon on the 8th at Halfway Creek Park in the shelter to get assignments to serve and from there go into our community and serve our neighbors  There will be many  service opportunities.  If you have yard tools, work gloves and other things that could be shared, that would be appreciated.

We are looking for more service opportunities, so please let us know of people/places that could use a few helping hands. 

At the end of our service, 5:00 pm, we will gather for a grill-out potluck at the Halfway Creek Park and celebrate the day.  Bring a dish to pass and something to grill and we will enjoy food and fellowship together.

You do not have to serve the entire time, and there are many projects that will be shorter in duration if you cannot commit to the whole day.

Let’s roll up our sleeves, dig out those work gloves, and give God glory by serving Christ through our neighbor!

Green Thumbs and Grubby Fingernails

Pic of Vegetables

Our Halfway Creek garden is planted (the easy part) and will need care from caring hands to grow and thrive this summer. You are invited to help weed and water and harvest as needed. If you don’t have green thumbs, then grubby fingernails will do! There will be a sign up sheet going around church every Sunday if you are interested in helping out with our garden or contact Pastor Jean.  Go down to the garden and take a look!Halfway Creek donates all the vegetables from the garden to local food pantries and Holmen’s Hope.
