Church Closing due to CoronaVirus

Jacob’s Church Closing Two Weeks Wed. March 18 Due to Social Distancing Program Request.

Hi Everyone, It has been a difficult decision but under the circumstance we feel we must close the church for the next two weeks. We will revisit this decision at the end of the month after the requested social distancing requested by the leaders of our national medical leaders and the White House is over. I’ve received counsel with mixed opinions from our leadership but feel we have a consensus among our board. We now feel that we like much of the rest of the church world must give this plan a chance. In South Korea this plan seems to have saved lives and they are on the way out of their pandemic. As your pastor I feel we must protect our congregation. I take responsibility for asking the consistory to close and be a part of the national effort to bring this disease under control. Please, let’s make our homes and places of quarantine our prayer closet. God will see us through, and we will one day be looking back victoriously having overcome this pandemic. Stay safe. Feel free to let us know if we can help you in anyway. We love you all. Pastor Richard

Sunday after 9-11 Service has been moved inside of church due to wet grounds and chances of more rain. Banks are still slippery.

The Sunday after 9,11, 2001 was a moment in time when our nation prayed to God for his help and protection. The churches had record attendance and the darkness of 9-11 was met by the great light that overcomes darkness, Jesus Christ. We will embrace that resolve this Sunday Sept.16., ,in song and sermon remembering to pray for our, nation, first responders and the victims of 9-11. As well we’ll pray for God’s protection from future plots against our nation. Service will begin at 9:30 as usual. Come join us as we unite our hearts in prayer.
