The Confirmation process will soon begin for several of our younger church family members. Emma, Gabriel, Samantha, Copeland, Bryleigh, and MacKenzie will all be joining Pastor David for lessons in the Old and New Testaments, as well as exploring Luther’s Small Catechism. The two-year period of instruction will conclude on Pentecost Sunday in 2026. That seems like a long way off, but truly the time will pass by quickly for these faithful youth members. Please pray for them as they embark on this journey where they will come to the point when each one will stand and publicly claim the promises God made to them at the time of their Baptism. Confirmation Instruction is currently scheduled to begin on Sunday, August 25th at 3:00 PM in the church office.

June 24-27
VBS began at Breaker Rock Beach on Monday, June 24th. Dinner was served nightly and there were classes for all ages! God’s voice was heard – “Truth comes from me. My plan for you is even better. Everyone sins and needs a Savior. Jesus is the only way to get to heaven.” Fun and fellowship was enjoyed by all.
Thanks to all our VBS 2024 volunteers! YOU make VBS happen! Many thanks from the Christian Education Team.

Christian Education for 2016
Posted September 7, 2017 By adminThank you to all who volunteered their time and talent this year, fulfilling their baptismal promises to teach our children God’s holy word. It is my prayer that we all will continue help one another grow in our faith and trust in our mighty Father.
This year our Sunday School consisted of two (2) Adult classes, one (1) High School Class (which eventually merged with one of the Adult classes due to lack of teachers), one (1) Middle School class, (1) one Elementary School class, and one (1) preschool class.
I would like to especially thank Mrs. Libby Shealy for her dedication to teaching our Middle School children and all those who volunteered to teach each Sunday, some who even coordinated their own teaching and lesson schedules.
Our Team was responsible for Vacation Bible School this summer. We began each night with supper for the attendees and their families. The curriculum, Surf Shack, had classes for Adults through Preschool and we learned about God’s mission in our lives. Pastor Kevin once again led the Adult class and the younger children rotated between music, games, lessons, crafts and snacks. We had a wonderful time learning about how God creates, helps, loves, calms and sends each of us. We would like to send a big thank you to all our volunteers who fed our children and Adults with food and especially God’s Word!
VBS Daily Attendance Average:
- Kids: 35 – 40
- Adults: 40 – 43
Other Team Accomplishments:
- Confirmation Class (Pastor Kevin, David Kibler and Dawn Rister)
- First Communion Class (Pastor Kevin)
- Children’s Christingle (Advent) Service – This service included participation of children from our Preschool class to our High School Class. We would like to thank St. Jacobs’s staff, musicians, children and all our wonderful parent volunteers who helped chaperone and organize this service.
- With much appreciation from the Christian Education Team we look forward to serving side by side with our brothers and sisters in Christ, spreading His word and love to all who need to hear and know Him.
