As we prepare to celebrate the joy and peace of Christmas at Emmanuel, we invite you to order a beautiful poinsettia to help decorate for our Christmas Eve Service. 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 December 15 and can be placed by filling out the order form or stop by the front office of Emmanuel on Mooring Line Dr.
Your contribution will not only add to the beauty of our service 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!
EMMANUEL PARK MODULAR WORSHIP BUILDING :
We are actively collaborating with engineers, contractors, vendors, and county staff to bring Emmanuel Park Church’s interim modular worship building to life. While our timeline has been adjusted, our priority remains ensuring that the structure is thoughtfully designed and fully approved for worship gatherings. Because no suitable pre-owned or leasable units exist, a brand new, custom-built unit is being crafted to serve our community’s needs for the coming years as we work to design, fund, and construct a permanent worship hall.
This custom modular will be a 36 x 60 structure with 9’ ceilings. It will be much nicer and larger than initial ideas. We do not have an estimate of time at the moment as we navigate Collier County’s complex construction standards and approval for location site. We need to have the design work completed, then engineering work completed by the manufacturer, with engineering to be reviewed and approved by county. On county approval of structural plan, unit goes into manufacturing..... then site prep, electrical lines, delivery, installation and certificate of occupancy.
We appreciate your continued patience and support as we strive to create a welcoming, high-quality worship space for all.
