Posted November 27, 2018 By adminThe season of expectation and waiting is finally upon us.

In this faithful waiting, we express our joy and wonder, marveling once more at the miracle of Jesus’s birth. Everyone is encouraged to attend the Services of Advent here at St. Jacob’s and hear once more the foretelling of God’s gift of salvation through Christ the Lord. The following is a schedule of our Advent observance.

Morning Bible Study
Posted November 27, 2018 By adminOur Wednesday Morning Bible study is in full swing as we continue taking a close look at the history and theology of many beloved hymns. In December, we will focus our attention on several favorite hymns for Advent and Christmas. If you have not yet attended this study, you need not worry about being behind. There are new hymns for study each week, so every meeting begins with a fresh start on a new topic. Wednesday morning Bible study meets at 9:30 in the fellowship hall. Please join members of your church family and come learn with us. We look forward to seeing you there.

Alter Guild is getting ready for 2019
Posted November 27, 2018 By adminMany times, members wish to provide the altar flowers in memory of loved ones or in honor of anniversaries, birthdays and other special occasions. As in the past, a flower chart sign-up sheet will be posted in the Narthex on Sunday December 2nd and will remain until Sunday, December 30th. If there is a particular Sunday YOU would like to furnish the altar flowers for the worship service, please indicate your choice by signing up for that Sunday. The Altar Guild will assign all open dates to other members of the congregation. NOTE: Remember artificial flowers are not to be used in the altar vases and pot plants are to be used to enhance services on Palm Sunday, Easter Sunday, Pentecost Sunday and Christmas Services – not as altar flowers.

Children’s Choir Christmas Message
Posted November 27, 2018 By adminThe children’s choir is working hard learning music to help lead worship. We are talking a lot about Jesus as the light of the world. In Advent the children will call to Jesus, Prince of Peace, Messiah, to come show us the light that we might follow. At Christmas the children will ask us if we are ready for this light. Will we see Jesus as he comes to us? Will we see the person who needs our help? Will we reach out to those who are hurting? Will we be ready to follow wherever God leads us? And finally during Epiphany the children will announce, “Arise and shine, your light has come!” As we celebrate the seasons ahead we pray we will all be ready to let Jesus’s light shine through us. I encourage you all to talk to our children about ways in which you see Jesus in your day to day life and ways that we can all shine Jesus’s light on others.
Merry Christmas from the children’s choir.
