Chicken BBQ

St. Jacob is having a Chicken BBQ on Saturday, November 7. Please help spread the word!! $6.00 per half chicken, and pre-orders can be left by calling or by signing up during church. This is a fundraiser for Response – preventing sexual and domestic violence. Our thanks to Thrivent for helping sponsor the event.

Spring Forward

Spring Forward is off to a wonderful beginning this year with leaders Jane & Bob Perry, Joe & Sharon Bowman, and the help of National Honor Society students from Stonewall Jackson High School. We have openings for elementary age students. Bus transportation may also be arranged from the suthern campus. Classes meet from 4-6pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Call Jane Perry for information.

Blessing Box

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!

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)
