LAST CALL TO ORDER YOUR POINSETTIA. Help us celebrate the season with Christmas poinsettias.
As we prepare to celebrate the joy and peace of Christmas at Emmanuel, we invite you to order a beautiful poinsettia to help decorate our sanctuary. For just $20.00, you can brighten our worship space and honor a loved one or commemorate a special event. Orders are being accepted now through this Sunday, December 15, and can be placed by clicking the link below to order online, filling out the order form and submitting to the church or stop by the front office.
Your contribution will not only add to the beauty of our sanctuary but also provide a meaningful way to honor or remember someone special during this season of hope.
Thank you for your generosity as we come together to celebrate the birth of Christ!
LAST CHANCE TO HELP GOOD GIFTS AND THE GOOD SAMARITAN FUND FOR CHRISTMAS: THANK YOU for your overwhelming response! This is the second week we have had to refill the tree with ornaments. If you have not already participated, Sunday will be the last day to select an ornament. Either before or after worship, go to the Christmas tree at the back of the Family Life Center and choose a Global or a Local Good Gifts ornament. Follow the instructions below for your donation, then take your ornament home to hang on your tree.
Make your check payable to Emmanuel Lutheran Church. On the memo line of the check write either Global - and your gift choice (e.g., 2 piglets), or Local Good Gifts. We will use the information on the memo line to ensure your Good Gift is directed properly. Checks can be mailed to Emmanuel Lutheran Church, dropped off during the week, or put into the offering plate on Sunday. Any questions, please call Gina at 239-261-0894.
SANCTUARY RENOVATION UPDATE:
Exciting progress continues in our sanctuary renovation! This week, the pews are being installed, marking a significant milestone. The front stonework and the columns at the back of the sanctuary are now complete, adding a beautiful touch to the space. Light fixtures have been installed, filling the sanctuary with warmth and elegance. Painting is underway throughout, bringing everything together with a fresh, vibrant look. Meanwhile, our AV team is hard at work installing and preparing the technical systems.
Thank you for your continued prayers and support as we move closer to completing this transformative project!
WOULD YOU LIKE TO GET CONNECTED WITH OTHERS AT EMMANUEL? We are forming groups of 6 to 8 to give you the opportunity to connect with others from Emmanuel over a shared meal. The goal is to meet monthly from January to April, fostering fellowship among those in our community who may not know each other well. Each dinner is centered around prayer, scripture, and a blessing. Meals can be hosted at a home or at a restaurant (pay for your own meal). And it can be lunch, dinner or other activity (we have had groups go bowling or golfing together). It’s totally up to the group as to a time and place to meet. Sign up below!
If you have questions, email Deacon Jim at Jim@NaplesEmmanuel.org or Gina at Gina@NaplesEmmanuel.org. Or, call the office at 239-261-0894.
