Council Briefs for January 2, 2018 Meeting

Posted February 5, 2018 By admin

Council noted Good Things at St.Jacob’s this past month included Marie liver transplant was a success, church attendance seems to be improving, advent services all went well and the messages in these were appreciated. Everyone seems to be enjoying Pastor’s devotions in the newsletters. He will continue to post these and looks forward to it! The Christmas Eve service was great along with the bells doing a wonderful job. The congregation seemed to like the one Christmas Eve service verses the two individual services. Thank you to Robin and Gerald for finding the candles!

Worship and Music notes for Februray

Posted February 5, 2018 By admin

The church year is very quickly moving on. In just a few short weeks, on February 14th, Ash Wednesday will begin the Lenten season. This year’s Wednesday evening services (not including Ash Wednesday, which has its own liturgy) are going to be somewhat different than the past several years, but our goal is to keep the services within the same
time frame, approximately 30 minutes in length.
The choir will have abbreviated practices, immediately following the services. We, the current choir members and I, wish to extend an invitation to anyone who would like to join us as we work on music for Lent, Easter and the Sundays leading up to Pentecost. It was such a joy to have those few extra voices singing with us during Advent and Christmas. We would be blessed to have others sing with us during the Lent and Easter seasons.
Due to unforeseen conflicts, the planned choir workshop at the end of January had to be cancelled; therefore, the Wednesday practices between now and Ash Wednesday are doubly important as we learn the anthems for the upcoming Sundays. I ask any singers in the congregation that you prayerfully consider adding your talents to those of the current choir members, so that, together, we can praise God to the best of our abilities.

Soli Deo Gloria (to God alone the glory),
Laurie
