INTRODUCING EMMANUEL’S NEW CONFERENCE ROOM!
Today, we celebrate the completion of Emmanuel’s brand-new conference room, a fantastic addition to our Mooring Line Drive campus! Located on the second floor near the elevator at our Mooring Line Drive campus, this beautiful space has been made possible by the generosity of a donor, with no general funds used. It stands as a testament to our collective commitment to growth, connection, and innovation.
The conference room is already in full swing, hosting a variety of meetings throughout the week. Designed with state-of-the-art technology, it provides an ideal setting for collaboration, planning, and ministry work. Even our Church Council and Stephen Ministry Leadership Team have enjoyed making use of this modern, welcoming space.
We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to each member of our congregation for your continued support and commitment. Your generosity and dedication help turn vision into reality. Together, we are building a stronger, more connected community!
HOLY WEEK AT EMMANUEL LUTHERAN CHURCH: A Journey through Christ’s Passion, Death, and Resurrection
Welcome to Holy Week! This sacred time invites us to walk with Jesus from His entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday to the glory of His resurrection on Easter Sunday. Each service tells part of the story, and just as you wouldn’t miss a page in a captivating book, you shouldn’t miss any of these services. Each one deepens our understanding of God’s love and the hope of the resurrection.
Why You Shouldn't Miss Any of the Services. Holy Week is a continuous story. Each service — from Palm Sunday to Easter — invites us to experience Christ's love and sacrifice. To fully appreciate Easter, we must walk with Jesus through His suffering, death, and resurrection. Every service builds on the last, deepening our faith and hope.
FAMILY NIGHT AT THE EVERBLADES: This past Friday night, 54 members of our Emmanuel family gathered at Hertz Arena for an unforgettable night of hockey, fellowship, and fun! With premium center-ice seats, we had a front-row view of all the action while enjoying great company. As you can see from the photos, it was an absolute blast!
Missed out this time? No worries! We had such a fantastic experience that we’re already planning to do it again next year.
JOIN US MONDAY FOR OUR LAST BOOK CLUB MEETING FOR THIS SEASON! Our next meeting is Monday, April 14th at 2 PM in Classroom 2. You can enter directly into this room through the door on the north side of the church building. (It’s best to park in the back parking lot.) We will be discussing the book, Sensible Shoes by Sharon Garlough Brown. Come join us!
FINANACIAL UPDATE: Did You Know?

As of March 24th, contributions are $16,000 ahead compared to the same period last year (excluding Easter). However, we are $233,000 behind our budgeted giving. On a positive note, expenses are $80,000 under budget, reducing the net shortfall to $153,000.
