Blessed be the memory of

Jeffrey Glenn Fladten, Child of God!

 Jeffrey Glenn Fladten, 65, passed away peacefully at his home in Lake Hallie on May 19, 2026.


Jeff was born on April 15, 1961, in Barron, Wisconsin to Duane and Norreta (Hanson) Fladten. He graduated from Chetek High School in 1979 and attended UW–Stevens Point. Following college, Jeff spent several years living in Arizona and eventually settled in the Chippewa Valley. It was here that Jeff met his wife, Sue Gille, and the two were married on April 8, 1993.


Jeff will be remembered for his kind heart, love of family and the friendships he cherished throughout his life. He enjoyed the companionship of his beloved dogs over the years and especially treasured the time spent with family and friends.


He is survived by his wife, Sue; his beloved companion Jaxon; his parents, Duane and Norreta Fladten; brother, Scott (Kim) Fladten; sisters, Lynn (Tom) Feidt , Mary Ann (Wayne) Omtvedt and Karma Fladten (Bill); brothers-in-law, Steve Gille and Shane Gille; sister-in-law, Sharon (Mark) DeMoe; along with many nieces and nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.


Jeff was preceded in death by his father-in-law Kenneth Gille; his sister-in-law LuAnn Gille; niece Sara DeMoe; great nephew Collin Beckman.


A celebration of Jeff’s life will be held at Chippewa Valley Cremation Services & Celebration of Life Center, 1717 Devney Drive, Altoona, Wisconsin on Saturday, June 13th. Visitation from 10:00-11:30 with service to follow.

At last, God's patience with Israel is spent, and the northern kingdom falls to the Assyrian Empire, never to rise again. Judah illustrates what happens when God's people allow him to be their ally. Even the mightiet empire fall back before him! In Isaiah's prophecy, we see the clearest witness to the coming Messiah.

  • The Fall of Israel: 2nd Kings 17
  • Taking a Stand: 2nd Kings 18-19
  • A Prophet Called Out: Isaiah 6
  • The Very Bad News: Isaiah 13
  • The Very Good News: Isaiah 14, 49, 53

Sundays at New Hope

Church can be an intimidating place to come the first time — especially if you don’t know what to expect. We hope you'll come! You are welcome to participate fully, or as you wish. Be inspired by the music. Hear the Word. Get in touch with the spiritual. Come to the Table of Mercy. All are welcome at the Lord's Supper! We invite you to experience what the gospel - the good news of Jesus Christ - means at one of our services. You can engage with others and find places for your whole family to connect. Enjoy refreshments! We hope that through visiting with us, you will experience the hope, love, and joy that comes from a community of people who strive to walk in the footsteps of Jesus. You are welcome here!


    Serving Through our Pine Creek Site

    Authentic Worship

    At New Hope, worship in the name and power of the Holy Trinity is central to everything. As we come we declare that there is a deeper side of life sometimes ignored by our culture. We make time to step away from the hectic pace of life to worship, recognizing God’s greater goodness and our need to come faithfully into the presence of God. Here, we respond with our acts of worship to this amazing grace.

    Teaching from the Bible

    We believe that practical, relevant teaching is the catalyst for transformation in an individual's life. Scripture is inspired by God the Father, and as we reflect on God's word through the prism of Jesus Christ, we are transformed through the power of the Holy Spirit into God's likeness. It is a lifelong journey, and ultimately we rest in God's grace.
