For the past twenty years, a community observes Good Friday with its annual Cross
Walk. People from all of the churches gather at one end of the town to begin the walk.
For this occasion, all the denominational differences are forgotten as Baptists, Lutherans,
Methodists, Catholics, Brethren in Christ, as well as a couple of independent churches,
participate. People from each church take turns carrying the cross. At each church, a
portion of the passion story is read.
