Everyone at St. Jacob’s is invited to attend a special Fellowship and Mission Event of the Carolinas Mission Region at the NALC Disaster Response Warehouse in Kings Mountain, NC. The event takes place on Saturday, May 21st. The plan is for congregations to collect items to assemble Disaster Response Hygiene Kits to resupply the warehouse before hurricane season. This event is perfect for Youth groups, Men’s groups, Women’s groups and Senior’s. ALL ARE INVITED! There will be plenty of food and fellowship provided by Advent Lutheran Church in Kings Mountain. As a part of this project, St. Jacob’s has been collecting travel size bottles of shampoo and nail clippers. The response has been wonderful and generous. Thank you to all who have donated to this project. Now we simply need your presence to help assemble the hygiene kits. See you on May 21st!

Carolinas Mission Region Mission Event Are You Going?

Posted April 29, 2022 By adminChrist Is Risen. He Is Risen Indeed Alleluia!
We have once again celebrated Christ’s victory over death on Easter Sunday and with that comes some changes to our church service. We once more proclaim, “Alleluia”, praise to God, throughout the service. During Lent all our Alleluias went away. Do you know how many times we say “Alleluia, praise the Lord” during our service? I once had the children count them in the bulletin and it’s a lot. Check it out this Sunday. As we come together to praise God, we say Alleluia quite a few times. Another change in the service is that the Hymn of Praise, “Glory to God”, has returned. It too went away during Lent. After the Kyrie, we sing “Glory to God, Glory to God, Glory to God in the Highest.” This hymn of praise is based on the Gloria sung by the angels at the birth of Christ. We are rejoicing at the coming of Christ. He has come into the world and taken away our sins. He has risen and is seated at the right hand of God. We ask him to have mercy on us. During Lent, we did not sing the hymn of praise as we remembered the forty years Israel wandered lost in the wilderness. Lent is a time when we focus on just how lost we are and how much we need a savior. But Glory to God, it is Easter, Christ has arisen and we join with all the host of heaven singing praises to the Lord. During this Easter season rejoice in the Lord and sing out his praises with gusto. This Sunday focus on the beautiful words given to us at Jesus birth and remember all that he has done and continues to do for you.
I hope that you enjoyed the return of bell music to our service on Easter morning. If you have rung bells in the past or have thought I’d love to learn to ring bells, please let me know. I would like to put together another small group to play on Pentecost Sunday in June. We would require a few weeks to practice. I pray for your help as we begin to rebuild the music ministry at St. Jacob’s.

Thanks to all that participated.

Monday and Wednesday Bible Study
Posted April 5, 2022 By adminOur current Mid-week Morning Bible Study centered on the Passion of our Lord will conclude on Wednesday, April 6th. Bible Study will resume following Holy Week and the Easter Celebration. Wednesday Morning Bible Study will resume on April 27th. In response to the sample survey sent out earlier in the year, Pastor David will also offer a new Bible Study on Monday evenings beginning on Monday, April 25th at 7 PM. The topic for our study will be “Walking Together: The Importance of Fellowship for Disciples of Christ.”
“Walking Together” will include nine lessons presented in a “come as you are” level requiring no previous study or homework. Each lesson will be presented in such a way that it will be easy to invite a friend or neighbor to join in for a single lesson or for the entire study. Each lesson will cover a primary reading from the Bible and ask open ended questions concerning our life together as the people of God. All are welcome to participate. No special materials are required. Just bring your Bible and a willingness to study God’s Word together.
