The Good Friday Community Cross Walk began at noon on Friday in the sanctuary of the Ebenezer Reformed Church. Pastor Jon Nienhuis, pastor of Ebenezer led in the welcome and greeting.

Seminarian, Seth Bush, Emmanuel Reformed Church read scripture from Luke 23: 26-31 and Pastor Deborah Taylor, of Morrison United Methodist Church read scripture from Luke 23: 32-43 and gave a short meditation. Congregation songs were “Lead Me to Calvary”, “Were You There” and “When I Survey the Wondrous Cross”. Pastor Dave Weemhoff of Morrison Christian Church offered prayer.
