BOYS & GIRLS CLUB GOLF TOURNAMENT FUNDRAISER UPDATE:
Last call to help us reach our goal to raise $8,000 to support this incredible mission of helping children in our community. So far we have received $6,783.25 for the Boys & Girls Club.
Why the Boys & Girls Club Matters: The Boys & Girls Club provides a vital service, supporting 3,000 children and teens, ages 6-18, offering a safe environment to grow, learn, and thrive. Their mission is to help young people, especially those who need it most, reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens. With 89% of members qualifying for free or reduced lunch and many from non-English-speaking and single-parent households, this organization is making a profound impact on the community.
Your support enables the Boys & Girls Club to continue providing award-winning programs that build self-esteem and instill values in our local youth.
How you can Help: You can donate online by clicking on the link below the team photo or write a check to Emmanuel Lutheran Church with memo (Boys & Girls Club). If you write a check, you can bring it to church or mail the check to: 777 Emmanuel Lutheran Church, Mooring Line Dr., Naples, FL 34102
If you have any questions, please contact Deacon Jim Cooper at Jim@NaplesEmmanuel.org or 239-261-0894.

SANCTUARY REMODEL CONTINUES
This week our Sanctuary refreshment continues. They are getting ready to pour the stage and ramp. We've been waiting on electrical and AV items to be coordinated.
The project aims to enhance both the beauty and functionality of the space, incorporating modern design elements while honoring its rich history. Fresh paint, updated lighting, and improved seating will create a warm and inviting atmosphere for worship and community gatherings. As the congregation looks forward to this transformation, it symbolizes a renewed commitment to growth and connection within our community here at Emmanuel. These are thrilling times as we step forward in faith together!
