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.
FINANACIAL UPDATE: Did You Know?
FINANACIAL UPDATE: Did You Know?
Thanks to your generosity, our ongoing renovations—including the refreshing of the sanctuary, chapel updates, Family Life Center improvements, and several office renovations—are fully funded by the Capital Campaign!
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.
Thank you for your continued support as we strive to meet our financial goals!

Next Steps – Our focus now shifts to selecting colors for the carpet, walls (interior & exterior), trim, and other finishing touches.
