Posted June 13, 2024 By adminSt. Jacob’s Youth

Youth from St. Peter’s in Chapin, Holy Trinity in Little Mountain, and St. Paul’s in Pomaria joined with St. Jacob’s Youth in a mission project collecting Peanut Butter and Jelly for We Care of Chapin. More than 550 pounds of PB&J was collected by the for youth groups. The afternoon was spent getting to know one another and making new friends through games and singing, and of course, food.

The Congregational Care and Discipleship Teams are here for you!
Posted May 10, 2024 By adminOur Congregational Care and Discipleship Team are committed to help and assist our members with any needs that they may have. As Jesus shared in Matthew 25:40, “whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did it for me”. As disciples and members of the Congregational Care and Discipleship Teams, we are here to serve, to assist, and to care for one another. Have you had these thoughts?
I wish I had someone to call to pick up and deliver my medication today.
It would be great to have someone to drive me/us to my/our doctor appointment or to another appointment.
I need an errand run, who can I call?
I wish I had someone to talk to.
I would love to have someone from the church visit me.
You can call the church office at 803-345-2309, Billy, or Lynn! Our church ministry teams are here for you! If you have any special requests/needs, please do not hesitate to ask. We all need help at some time in our lives. We are a phone call or text away. Let us help! Let us serve!
Music Notes
Posted May 8, 2024 By admin2 Chronicles 5:12-14 (…it was the duty of the trumpeters and singers to make themselves heard in unison in praise and thanksgiving to the Lord), and when the song was raised, with trumpets and cymbals and other musical instruments, in praise to the Lord,
“For he is good,
for his steadfast love endures forever,”
the house, the house of the Lord, was filled with a cloud, 14 so that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud, for the glory of the Lord filled the house of God.
When Solomon had completed the temple and the Ark of the Covenant was brought into the temple, the singers and musicians praised God with voice and instrument, and the temple was filled with the Glory of God.
Throughout the bible, God gives us examples of worship. In the Old Testament we see the directions God gave for worship first in tents as the Israelites wandered in the wilderness and then in the temple. In the New Testament we see John’s vision of the worship that we will one day join in God’s kingdom. Music is always an important part of this worship, and it is so important that we raise up our children to make music to the Lord.
This summer we will again have a bell camp on Tuesday mornings, starting June 18th, from 9-12:30 in the fellowship hall and music room downstairs.
VOLUNTEERS ARE NEEDED to provide lunch for the youth each Tuesday. And to be present to assist with set up, leading devotions, monitoring the youth and handling surprises that always seem to pop up. If you are willing to assist in any way, please call Angela.
It is almost time for our chancel choir to break for the summer. Thank you to everyone who has worked so hard this year to bring us a cantata, lead worship and share their talents in praise and worship of God. The choir will lead worship again this summer from the pews giving them a chance to sit with their friends and family. We will reconvene at the end of the summer.

Up And Going
Posted May 2, 2024 By adminNineteen members and guests gathered on Thursday, April 11th at 11:00am in the fellowship hall for the regular Up and Going Meeting. Rain greeted most of our members but soon the sunshine appeared.
Helen Lindler, team leader, greeted all and welcomed them to the meeting. Devotions were from Portals of Prayer Entitled “What Kind of Love Is This”? These words are from that devotion. “Jesus was on the most critical mission known to existence as The Kingdom of God warred against the Kingdom of the Devil. Bible reading was from Psalm 22; words that we have heard many times during the Easter Readings. Words written by David hundreds of years before the crucifixion of Christ. Devotions ended with prayer.
Tommy Faulk lead us in singing many of our favorite gospel songs. The group joyously sung with Tommy as he played his guitar and led the singing. This was a most enjoyable program. A special lunch followed the meal Blessing.
Ann Lindler prepared and served Liver Nips, a Dutch Fork favorite. They were accompanied by many delicious side dishes and desserts. We all enjoyed this special meal.
Our May Meeting will be held on Thursday, May 9th at 11:00am in the fellowship hall with guest speaker, Mr. Travis Goodman, from Thrivent Services. He will speak to us about scams and how to protect ourselves. Lunch will be a covered dish meal so bring a favorite dish to share. Prayer concerns for Mrs Letha Sites, Mrs Betty Ann Shealy, Miss Frances Slice and Mrs Joan Marco were expressed.
