Welcome to Edinburg Lutheran Parish (Edinburg, VA)

Spring Forward had a great week celebrating the wonders of the oceans with Professor Mike Williamson.  We’ll now enjoy a well deserved Spring break and resume on Tuesday, April 14. Contact Jane Perry for more information.

Pastor Katie has orange bags, fluorescent vests, and pickers if you would like to support St. Jacob’s Women’s group in their annual participation in the Shenandoah County Spring Clean-up, which runs through Memorial Day weekend.

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 cold weather, 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)
