Welcome to Edinburg Lutheran Parish (Edinburg, VA)

From now until May 31, St. Jacob will once again be participating in the Shenandoah County Roadside Trash collection.  The money raised goes to the Women’s Group of St. Jacob’s.  All are welcome to participate.  Pastor Katie has orange bags if you need them! 

Be encouraged to take time to stop by and check the Blessing Box. The upper portion is for food stuffs, and the lower space is for firewood in the cold months and produce and plants in the warm months.  Spread the word!

Food contributions are always appreciated, but in this growing season, you might also consider donating seeds or young plants. Fresh items like bread, bananas, potatoes, etc., are also greatly appreciated while the temperatures are pleasant.   Here's a fresh idea:  ”A Meal in a Bag!” that contains all the ingredients for a simple meal. Cleaning supplies have also been appreciated, since anything beyond the allotments of a SNAP card are often a struggle to afford for many families. 

“But in times past, ... the people ... gathered food and material goods in the church, and there – as St. Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 11 – distributed among those in need.”

- Martin Luther in The Blessed Sacrament of the Holy and True Body of Christ, and the Brotherhoods (1519)
