Hope is part of the Northwestern Synod of Wisconsin, which included 191 congregations from here in the north down to Black River Falls. We were one of the last visits during the six-year term of our previous Bishop (lead pastor), who was here in August last year. We will be the very first visit for our new Bishop Martin Halom on September 8 for our Rally Sunday . He will be with us to visit during our Pancake Breakfast and serve as our guest preacher.
