Welcome to Edinburg Lutheran Parish (Edinburg, VA)

Sunday, November 23 will be a Parish Joint service at St. Jacob’s. Sunday School will be at 9:30am, with worship at 11am to celebrate the festival of Christ the King.  A covered dish dinner with chicken provided will follow.  We hope you’ll plan to join us! 

Thanksgiving Eve Service will take place at St. Jacob on Wednesday, November 26 at 7pm.  We look forward to joining with our UCC neighbors Christ - Conicville, St. John - Hamburg, Trinity - Powder Springs, and Zion and their pastors.  Pastor Steve Wood will preach.

Spring Forward is off and running for the 2025-2026 school year!  Science and mathematics are the themes this year as we seek to provide tutoring in areas the students struggle.  We’re excited to be able to have busses from the Southern and Central campus.  If you know of an elementary age student who would benefit from this tutoring and enrichment program, let them know about Spring Forward!

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!

With the weather starting to change, no doubt clothing items (i.e. gloves, hats) for the cold temperatures would be appreciated along with food donations.  Thank you for supporting young and old alike … need knows no age.  A huge THANK YOU to all who have been supporting it with contributions of food and dollars. 

Here's an 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)
