At the November 7, 2010 voter's meeting, the Call to a new Pastor was decided. The Call is extended to Pastor Josh Hower. He responded with the following message:
Dear Hope Lutheran Church
I am very humbled, and consider it a high honor, to be extended the call to serve as your pastor. I look forward to receiving the call documents in the coming days. Please know that my wife Jennifer and I will commit this call to the deepest prayerful consideration possible, seeking discernment regarding God's Will for my ongoing service to His Church. As I have invited Concordia to join us in prayer, let me invite you to please continue praying. Knowing that Jen and I will be in prayer, Concordia will be in prayer, as well as the people of Hope. I am certain God's Will will become clear in the weeks ahead.
God's Blessings
Walking Together as we Follow Christ
Pastor Josh
