A Tribute to Dr. Carole Halmekangas

Back to All News + Events

At the end of June, Carole Halmekangas will retire as our Director of Traditional Worship after 45 years of service to Ward Church. Since coming to Ward three years ago, I have marveled at her incredible gifts and grace. I have worked with many musicians over the years, but none more talented than Carole. Music is a part of her and seems to flow effortlessly through her. However, the amazing talent Carole possesses isn’t even the best part about her. Carole has a winsome grace-filled walk with Jesus that permeates her life. It is unusual for one so gifted to walk with such humility. It has been a great privilege to serve Christ with Carole. I have found in her a kindred spirit that understands the joys and challenges of ministry.

Our friend Carole avoids the limelight and squirms under public recognition. I invite you to join me in “silently” honoring her by posting a tribute to her ministry. Let her know how she has brightened your life and lifted your spirit. All of the posts will be printed and included in a book for Carole.
