2025 LENT AT EMMANUEL - “GIVING UP” : Lent is a season of reflection, repentance, and renewal. It is a time when we journey with Christ to the cross, letting go of the things that hinder our faith and opening ourselves to God's grace. This Lent, we invite you to embrace the theme "Giving Up". God would like to help and guide us to give up control, expectations, superiority, enemies, and our lives. Join us on this journey - see you in worship!
Letting Go of Superiority and Embracing Humility in Christ. As we journey together in faith, this week's theme, "Giving Up Superiority," invites us to examine the ways we elevate ourselves above others—whether consciously or unconsciously—and instead adopt Christ-like humility. One Church, Multiple Communities - United in Letting Go!
CANDIDATE SEARCH UPDATE:
The Emmanuel Park Call Committee remains dedicated to finding our next pastor. With the support of the Synod and our consultant, we are actively identifying and evaluating potential candidates for interviews.
If you know someone who may be a great fit for this role, we welcome your recommendations! Please don’t hesitate to reach out and share your suggestions.
Thank you for your prayers and support during this important process.
EXCITING IMPROVEMENTS AT EMMANUEL PARK:
As part of our ongoing efforts to enhance Emmanuel Park, we’ve made some significant upgrades recently!
Playground & Picnic Area Refresh – The wood on the playground and picnic tables has been sanded, conditioned, stained, and sealed, restoring them beautifully.
Fresh Mulch – We’ve added two truckloads of mulch to the playground surface and around the Welcome Center, enhancing both safety and aesthetics.
Growing a Canopy of Shade – New shade trees have been planted along the roadway, ensuring a cooler, more inviting environment as they grow.
We are excited that the park is used by so many in the community and it is a gathering spot for our members.
SITE DEVELOPMENT AND MODULAR UPDATE:
Progress Continues!
We are making steady progress as we continue working with the county on our insubstantial change to the Site Development Plan. Step by step, we’re moving forward!
Design Finalized – The layout of doors, windows, electrical outlets, and lighting is now set.
Next Steps – We’re shifting our focus to color selections for the carpet, walls (interior & exterior), trim, and other finishing touches.
Engineering in Progress – The manufacturer is preparing essential structural, electrical, and mechanical drawings for our future building permit application.
Though the process takes time, each step brings us closer to our goal. Onward we go!
