Welcome to St. Jacob's Lutheran Church

On Sept 14th, 10 members and guests boarded the St. Jacob’s Express and after short devotions headed for the annual Apple Run; 2 members traveled by car. While traveling up I26, we conducted Up and Going business. We traveled the NC scenic route through Lake Lure and Chimney Rock and Bat’s Cave, Oh so pretty. First stop was the Golden Corral in Hendersonville where we enjoyed a delicious lunch; so many choices…all delicious. We met friends from Mt. Tabor and Macedonia. Must have been Lutheran apple day, such a nice surprise. We then stopped at Blackmon’s to purchase special apple ciders, fruits and vegetables. Time to head to Lyda’s Farms, our favorite place for apples. We have been going to Lyda’s for about 20 years. We purchased all types of apples, cabbage, fall vegetables, tomatoes, pumpkins and other goodies. Mountain grown fruits and vegetables taste so good. Lyda’s always has so many excellent choices. All too soon, it is time to head home, so with our treasures loaded in the rear of the bus and happy travelers loaded up front, we headed for I26 and home. As we headed home, we were advised of an accident ahead, so for an hour, we stopped and slowly moved ahead but mostly stopped. But never fear, we had chocolate chip cookies (thanks to Davis) and water, so we just talked, laughed and visited with each other. Once we cleared the accident, we made good time traveling home. We quickly unloaded our purchases, said our good-bys, hugged and departed for our homes. God has blessed us with another safe trip and a day filled with good food, fun and laughter. Special thanks to Gerald Lindler for driving for us. We always enjoy having Gerald and Robin travel with us.

October meeting is scheduled for Oct 12th (2nd Thurs). We will have a covered dish lunch and Bingo.
