Welcome to St. Jacob's Lutheran Church

As it is each year, the Church sets aside the first Sunday in November to remember and give thanks to God for the faithful witness of those who have passed from earthly life within the previous twelve months. This year, All Saints Sunday is November 2nd. As people of faith, we continually remember all who have entered the Church Triumphant and now rest peacefully in Christ.

We acknowledge the St. Jacob’s members who joined the Church Triumphant, Letha Sites, Mitch Martin, Gloria Ziemer, Kristen Nickel, J.L. Lindler, and Lorene Cannon. We remember, as well, siblings of several of our church members who have passed during this last year. These include Richard Shull (brother of Larry Shull), Dwain Wessinger (brother of Elvia Lindler), and Sarah Paysinger (sister of Betty Ann Shealy). We also give thanks for all the saints within the Church Militant who strive to share the Gospel of Christ and extend the ministry of the church throughout the world. Everyone is invited to worship with us this year on All Saints Sunday beginning at 10:00 AM. As is customary, we will have a prayer for those church family members who passed away since our All Saints celebration last year.

Abigail was baptized during our Reformation Sunday service of worship, October 26th, 2025. Abigail is the daughter of Dylan and Amanda. Proud Grandparents are Chuck and Angela. Welcome Abigail, our newest sister in Christ.

On Sunday, October 26th, we will again observe the anniversary of the Reformation sparked by Dr. Martin Luther. As we know, on October 31st, 1517 (All Hallows Eve), Martin Luther posted his 95 articles for debate with the leadership of the Roman Church, challenging the abuses and corruption that existed within the Church. Luther went on to become the foremost of reformers of the sixteenth century. He translated the Latin Scriptures into his native German language so that ordinary people would have the ability to read the Bible for themselves. For us today, we have the lasting heritage and blessing of reading the Bible and studying God’s Word together within a church that bears the name of Luther. It is tradition that on Reformation Sunday the people in attendance wear red. I invite you all to keep this tradition as we gather for worship to hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ and give thanks for the life and public witness of Martin Luther so long ago.
