On Pentecost Sunday, June 9th, five of our youth members will affirm their Baptism and become confirmed members of St. Jacob’s Lutheran Church. Jay, Tommy, Tyler, Dixon and Rion have studied the New Testament and Luther’s Small Catechism with Pastor David and David Kibler and are ready to make public affirmation of the promises they received on the day of their Baptism. We rejoice with them on this occasion and promise our continued support along their journey of faith. A reception will follow the service of worship to honor these confirmands

The service will commence on Wednesday, May 22nd at 6:30 PM. This will be a weekly occurrence in which the surrounding community, friends and family mem-bers may come and worship in a relaxed atmosphere.
Please share this information freely with those whom you meet. Invite others into our midst so that we may share the treasure entrusted to us, the gospel of Jesus Christ.
THANK YOU FOR 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
