It is with a grateful heart and sharing in the joy of Easter that I wish to say thank you to all the volunteers who assisted during Lent and Holy Week. From the food we shared, to the dramatic readings we heard, and the music that filled our sanctuary, our journey to the cross was reflective and faithful. God bless you all for sharing your gifts. And may God continue to bless the family of St. Jacob’s as we strive to do God’s work in this place.
In Christ, Pastor David Nuottila

CHILDREN’S CHOIR MUSICAL FUNDRAISER
Posted April 30, 2019 By adminPrepare to set sail with the children’s choir on Sunday, May 19th. The children’s choir is ready for choir robes so we are holding a fundraiser spaghetti dinner on May 19th beginning at 5:30 PM. We are asking for donations at the door to cover the cost of the dinner but most especially to allow us to buy choir robes.
As entertainment for the dinner, our children have been working hard preparing to present the story of Noah, from a musical written by Tom Long and Allen Pote, The Sailor’s Bible.
Please come help us celebrate the end of our first choir season and help the children raise money to purchase their choir robes. It’s sure to be a great evening.
Blessings, Angela
