The Men of St. Jacob’s would like you to know that it is once again the season for one our favorite treats—delicious, made from scratch pork sausage. From now until November 20th, our Lutheran Men will be taking orders for their famous sausage. The price for sausage will be $5.00 per pound. Just see any member of St. Jacob’s Lutheran Men to place your order. Sausage will be available for pick up on Monday, November 28 in the Fellowship Hall. As always, there is plenty of opportunity for all men of St. Jacob’s to lend a hand. We are always looking for new volunteers to pitch in and learn the craft of making this delicious sausage. Contact Lutheran Men’s president Lynn to let him know that you are able and willing.

The Great Chili Cook-Off

Anyone may enter their favorite pot of Chili, (with beans or without). Matt and his select panel of Judges will crown the 2022 St. Jacob’s Chili Master. Who will take home the trophy? Come and see and be a part of the fun and fellowship.
Men’s Bible Study
Posted November 2, 2022 By adminOur St. Jacob’s Men’s Bible study continues to meet in the church office conference room on the second and fourth Monday each month at 7AM. All men at St. Jacob’s are encouraged to participate as they are able. Each participant will receive a copy of the “Every Man’s Bible” in the New Living Translation (NLT).” The Bible is provided at no cost and is a wonderful addition to every man’s Bible collection.
Currently we are exploring the lives of men we read about in the bible and finding out more about their life and struggle to become faithful believers in a world fallen into sin. Please join us. Encourage your friends and neighbors to do the same. We are looking forward to the growth of this ministry.
Midweek Bible Study
Posted November 1, 2022 By adminOur Wednesday morning Bible study is in full swing with a study of the Parables of Jesus. Everyone who is able is invited to join the group. We have wonderful conversations while exploring the richness of God’s mercy and grace. Come be a part of our learning and fellowship. Mid-week Bible study meets at 9:30 A.M. in the fellowship Hall each Wednesday Morning.
Choir Notes
Posted October 31, 2022 By adminOur St. Jacob’s choirs continue to gather and grow. Our youth members in grades 4 and up have been rehearsing handbells each Sunday and have enjoyed playing during our Sunday services.
Our Children’s Choir, (grades K-3) have been busy learning new songs. As they continue to gain confidence they too will share their gift of music with the congregation during worship.
And finally, our adult Chancel Choir continues to rehearse on Wednesday evenings at 7:00 and always has room for more.
I would like to encourage members of our church family of all ages to consider how you might participate in the music ministry of St. Jacob’s. Even if you are only able to share your musical talent from time to time, there are many opportunities for special music.
Anyone who might be interested in learning Hand Bells is strongly encouraged to contact me so we might explore this opportunity.
Please come and join us.
