Celebrate National Bible Week at Emmanuel!

God’s Word has a way of meeting us right where we are. This week, we invite you to visit our Take a Verse Wall, located in the back of the Narthex.

Choose a Scripture verse from one of three categories: Hope, Peace, or Strength. Take the verse that speaks to your heart or offers the encouragement you need today.

Whether you need reassurance, comfort, courage, or a reminder of God's promises, let Scripture meet you where you are.

One Book. One Church. One Message. God's Word for All of Us!

Fall Fest! What A Great Night!

Our Fall Festival was an evening of family fun, laughter, and fellowship! Children enjoyed games, activities, and music, while everyone savored hamburgers, hot dogs, and delicious desserts

Back-to-School Celebration Recap

Back-to-School Supply Drive Wrap-Up

What a wonderful and busy week at Emmanuel! From Bible Camp at Oil Well Road and a beautiful Classical Concert to a fun-filled family trip to Great Wolf Lodge, God blessed us with opportunities for worship, learning, music, and fellowship.

We concluded the week by celebrating our Blessing of the Backpacks and delivering generous school supply donations to Calusa Park Elementary, helping students and teachers begin the school year with the tools they need and a reminder of Christ's love.

Thank you to everyone who participated, volunteered, and supported these ministries. Together, we continue to make a difference in our church and our community.

HELP FOR VENEZUELAN EARTHQUAKE VICTIMS

Two devastating earthquakes have struck Venezuela, leaving thousands injured, displaced, and grieving the loss of loved ones. As the body of Christ, we are called to respond with compassion and hope.

Last Sunday we welcomed new members to our Oil Well Road community as well as the family of Pastor Jay Shailer. After church everyone gathered for a picnic for more fun and fellowship.

As we enter the summer months, many of our regular volunteers will be traveling or away, and we are in need of additional help to fill in. Even if you are only available to serve once or twice, your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

This ministry involves picking up donated food from Panera Bread and delivering it to St. Matthew's House.

Delivery Location: St. Matthew's House, 2001 Airport Pulling Road

Volunteer Opportunities:

• Fridays at 9:00 PM – Pick up food and deliver it on Saturday between 6:00–7:00 AM

Last week, Emmanuel staff and members participated in two inspiring events. Pastors David Lillejord, Rick Bliese, and José Lebrón, along with Deacon Nieves Lebrón, attended the Florida-Bahama Synod Assembly in Kissimmee, where they joined church leaders from across the region for worship, learning, and conversations about the future of ministry. Meanwhile, 21 participants from Emmanuel's Alpha Bible Study gathered for their Holy Spirit Retreat, a special opportunity to deepen their faith through teaching, discussion, prayer, and fellowship.

Now in its 17th year, Emmanuel’s Youth Scholarship Program has awarded 106 scholarships to support students in their educational pursuits. This year, $15,500 was awarded, bringing the total distributed through the program to $111,500. We are grateful for the support of Emmanuel’s Endowment Fund and our generous donors who make this ministry possible. Join us and help invest in the next generation.

Our End of School Celebration was a wonderful afternoon filled with food, fellowship, laughter, and fun! Families gathered together to celebrate the start of summer, and the kids especially enjoyed cooling off on the water slide.
