Vernon County Fair 2026

“You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden." - Matthew 5:14

The people of Hill Country spent time at the Vernon County Fair from September 16^th through the 20^th. They set up their booth with a different mindset this year. We are no longer collecting data or letting people know that the Missouri Synod is coming to town; we are here. Our volunteers eagerly spoke with people about who we are and what makes us different from other churches in the area. Our love for God's pure Word and His life-giving Sacraments was on display amid the world, showing the light of Christ to all who would stop and talk with us. Hill Country is in Viroqua, and we cling to the whole counsel of God and point to Christ as the only path to salvation.

If you happened to run into us at the fair, thanks for stopping and talking with us! If you have any questions about what we believe as Missouri Synod Lutherans you can check out the "We Believe" section of our website, or better yet, reach out to us. Pastor Bieri would love to talk with you further about our confession of faith and why we rejoice to be able to serve our Lord the way we do. We are joyfully Lutheran and love to share our love for God's Word with all.

Please pray that the Holy Spirit would work in the hearts of those who spoke with us at the fair and bring people to faith in Christ Jesus, and if He so wills, grant growth to God's kingdom through the efforts of His people at the fair.
