Walleye Weekend
Hope has a concession stand at Walleye Weekend in Family Land. We serve brats, burgers, hot dogs, ice cream sundaes and sno-cones. This is a fun time for our congregation to work together in His service to others!
Watch for sign up sheets in the narthex after Confirmation Sunday to help at Walleye Weekend and to make donations. Your past support has made it possible for us to continue to support the needs of our church and community. 100% of our profits goes back to the Fond du Lac community.

Questions can be directed to any committee member: Jessica and Dan Joseph, Laura Dow, Barb and Pete Sippel, Cory Siedschlag, Tom and Jill Gendron, Ryan Hopp, Rev. Bill Gruenstern, or Pastor Enderle.
