Morrison Ministers Council organizes and participates in the Annual Community Good Friday Cross Walk. The earliest event found on thecity1.com by the Editor was 2014. Left-to-right are Rev. Dr. Michael Selburg (First Presbyterian); Father James Brzezinski (Church of Saint Anne-Episcopal); Pastor Tammy Anderson (Bethesda Lutheran); Pastor Jon Eastlick (Crossroads Community Church); Pastor Craig Sipes (Brethren in Christ); Pastor J. T. Bean (Ebenezer Reformed Church.)

On Good Friday, April 7, 2023, the event began at 12:15 p.m., with a brief message by Pastor Anderson, below right, inside Resthave Rehabilitation & Health Care, 408 Maple Avenue, Morrison, IL. Included was group hymn singing, led by Pastor Sipes, left, and wife Kathi.

Then, Community participants who were able processed half a mile uphill on N. Jackson Street, to Pleasant View Rehabilitation & Health Care, 500 N. Jackson Street. Others rode a shuttle bus; it returned people who started at Resthave after the second Good Friday service concluded.

Outside Pleasant View, Pastor Bean spoke to residents and walkers, while Pastor Selburg held the heavy cross.
