With the Men's Club meeting calendar in recess until September, it was decided it would be nice for the group to get together over the summer.
On Friday, July 11 the Men's Club will gather at the Fond du Lac Dock Spiders Baseball Complex where we will enjoy a meal followed by a game where the Dock Spiders will take on the Lakeshore Chinooks.
Out 1st Base Pre-Game Tailgate will include hamburgers, brats and hotdogs, potato chips, baked beans, cookies and refreshments.
Men's Club members, spouses and guests are invited to attend this unique experience.
Contact Glenn Lutze at 920-583-4280 if you are interested in attending.
We need your help! We are looking for additional ladies to join our list of bakers for funeral luncheons.
If you enjoy baking and can contribute bars, cakes, or other treats, please contact Carol Shields at 920-922-9012.
Your delicious creations will be greatly appreciated!
We are very blessed to have such a giving, supportive congregation. We have now reached 29% of our funding goal for the Picnic Shelter; raising $42,372 toward our $144,480 project funding goal. Thank you all who have contributed to the project.
The shelter will be used for a variety of events, including summer worship services, VBS, Sunday Night Live!, outdoor weddings and family gatherings.
The 34' x 64' structure will feature wood scissor trusses with glulam beams supported by eight, nine-foot stone-wrapped steel columns. Weatherproof materials are featured throughout.
A 1500-watt sound system coupled with custom LED lighting will provide users with an immersive outdoor experience.

Rev. Dr. Gottfried Martens
Hope Lutheran serves six Monday night meals each year as part of the city-wide Loaves & Fishes program. In 2024, Hope prepared 1,034 meals, nearly twice as many meals as last year. We have seen an increase in the number of Fond du Lac families struggling with food insecurity. Our congregation’s support is very important to many of our neighbors. Our standard meal includes chicken, potato wedges, fresh carrots, 2 home-made cookies, bread & butter, and milk. Any extra meals are delivered to the St. Katharine Drexel Shelter. In 2024, 134 meals (plus any extra food) were delivered to the shelter.
Hope Lutheran has between 8-13 volunteers serving at each of the meals. We supplement our congregation’s donations with the financial support of Thrivent Action teams and this year we also received a local Kwik Trip grant.
Since there are no meals offered next week, Hope also provided food gift bags. Items included this year were an apple, orange, sausage stick, string cheese, fruit snacks, homemade snack mix, trail mix, cookies, Hot Chocolate, and a couple candy canes and Hershey kisses.
Please continue to pray for our neighbors who struggle with food insecurity and those who serve them. We would like to thank our volunteers and donors for their dedication to our mission.
2025 Save the Dates: August 18th, October 6th, December 8th.
Thank you!
