“DINNERS FOR SIX AND EIGHT” UPDATE:
Groups have been meeting, and it’s been a joy to see new connections forming and friendships deepening over shared meals. Participants have shared how much they’ve enjoyed the opportunity to gather in a relaxed setting, engage in meaningful conversation, and experience the blessing of fellowship. Whether in homes or at local restaurants, these dinners are truly fostering community and bringing people together. For more information, contact Gina. Gina@NaplesEmmanuel.org.

WE NEED YOUR HELP! ALTAR GUILD VOLUNTEERS NEEDED:
The Altar Guild is one of the oldest and on-going committees in the history of the church. This group is responsible for the preparation of the altar and the sacraments, in accordance with the seasons of the Church Calendar Year. Each Sunday and for any other worship service that may includes Communion, the Altar Guild prepares the communion elements for Communion, refreshes the trays between worship services and cleans up at the end of the last service. The preparation for Communion is done in the Sacristy, which is located off the Chancel area in the Sanctuary. This room is dedicated for Altar Guild functions.
Contact Kathleen@NaplesEmmanuel.org or Gina@NaplesEmmanuel.org if you would like more information of would like to join the team.
DO YOU ENJOY SERVING AN MEETING NEW PEOPLE ON SUNDAYS?

Contact Julie after the service or you can call (239-261-0894 ext. 307) or email her (julie@naplesemmanuel.org) during the week. Come join the fun!
Don’t forget to show hospitality to strangers, for some who have done this have entertained angels without realizing it! Hebrews 13:2
