Posted May 25, 2023 By adminLutheran Men Sausage Sale
Posted March 9, 2023 By adminIn February, our St. Jacob’s Men had another successful sausage sale. All together they continued to supply our church family with delicious pork sausage, producing well over seven hundred pounds. Included in this tally was enough sausage to supply our annual Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper and Easter morning breakfast. Of course, all this would not be possible without the assistance of several of our Lutheran Women who help out each year by weighing and packaging the sausage in 1 pound containers. They are always a great help in this project. Thank you to all who helped out!

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.
