Up and Going News

Posted January 30, 2020 By admin

Happy New Year to each of you.

The January Up and Going Meeting was held on Thursday, January 9th at 11 AM in the Fellowship Hall. Eighteen members attended. Helen gave the devotions from Romans the eighth Chapter, reminding us that nothing can separate us from God’s love. This is God’s promise that we should always hold on to and treasure. She read a poem “God Knows Best” by Helen Steiner Rice and closed with prayer. Business meeting was held and the Treasurer’s Report was given by Bob. Items of interest were discussed. After the meal blessing was given, we enjoyed a delicious meal of Chili (3 different pots) lots of side dishes and desserts. We then enjoyed playing re-gifted BINGO. There was so much laughter and comments throughout the games. We played until everyone won more than once and all of the gift items were happily now in the possession of someone who chose them. This was a fun day, and we all enjoyed the meal and BINGO. The February Meeting will be on Thursday, Feb 13th in the Fellowship Hall at 11 AM. The meal will be a covered dish meal. Don’t forget to bring your favorite dish to share. Albert is in charge of devotions.

Lutheran Women News

This past Christmas, the Lutheran Women adopted a family. (Chris; Miranda; Tanner, 6; Adeline, 4; and Charlotte, 1).

Chris and two of the children, Tanner and Charlotte, have major health issues. Tanner has Ducheene Disease and Charlotte has had two open heart procedures since birth. Chris has recently been diagnosed with a brain tumor which has caused significant hearing loss. He is the only parent working while attending his doctor’s appointments along with his children’s. In January, we hosted a Congregational Hamburger/Hot Dog LOVE Offering Meal. The proceeds went to assist this family with their living and medical expenses. The Lutheran Women will continue to assist the Simmons family throughout this year. Please continue to pray for this family.

Our next meeting will be Sunday, February 16th at 4:30 PM in the fellowship hall. Gail will have the devotions.

Meet The St. Jacob’s Team

Posted January 30, 2020 By admin

Every month we will continue interviewing one person from the team that serves St. Jacob’s. Our prayer for this series is that it will allow everyone to get to know us deeper and open the door for conversations.

This month we are featuring our Director of Youth and Family Ministries, Rachel Shelton.

What is your favorite book of the Bible? And why? Malachi! Even though it is a short book, it holds so much hope. It affirms that God loves His people and will fulfill prophecy by foretelling the coming of Jesus. It allows us to remember God’s character and promises. It reminds us of the law by summarizing the Torah and Prophets as a unified story that points to the future hope of the Gospel.

What is something that you enjoy doing? I have recently gotten into running. It is such a good way to relieve stress, be active, and get outside. It has also been fun to set goals and see improvement.

 If you could eat one meal every day, what would it be? Sushi! I am a very picky eater but somehow love one of the oddest foods.

Who has been the most influential person in your life? My Aunt Joyce, she was the most compassionate, intentional, and servant-hearted person I have ever known. Growing up I always watched her be a wonderful woman of God and learned a lot from how she carried herself and cared for others. Unfortunately, we lost her in April this past year; so I honor her everyday by carrying her light, love, and purpose to pass on her legacy.

What is your favorite thing about St. Jacob’s? Definitely the people. I love the feeling of walking into the church on Sunday mornings. We all come as we are and understand why we are there to worship. And I love that we all understand the importance of teaching this to the next generation.
