Thank you for your understanding and continued support!
CELEBRATING THE RETIREMENT OF VIVIAN (SHEA) HILLIS: Vivian (Shea) Hillis has been a talented and faithful steward of the finances of Emmanuel Lutheran Church for many years. Vivian is now, officially, retired. Vivian’s service to Emmanuel and beyond is exemplary and all who worked with and beside her are thankful for what she did—and how she conducted herself. We will continue to see Vivian and her husband, Jay, around Emmanuel.
We wish Vivian a very long string of wonderful days – full of travel, fun, and whatever she chooses to do with her free time.
Well done, faithful servant. Well done!

MEALS OF HOPE AT EMMANUEL PARK:
Our numbers have skyrocketed! We have been serving record numbers of families each week. We need volunteers to help!
Meals of Hope food pantry distribution site at Emmanuel Park is from 12:30 - 4:00 pm each Wednesday. Volunteer shifts: First shift will be from 12:00pm - 2:00pm, and second shift will be from 2:00pm - 4:00pm. Meals of Hope and Emmanuel Park are looking for 10 - 12 volunteers to assist with registration, parking, and distributing food.
If you are interested in volunteering, please click the link below. Volunteers are requested to arrive at 12:00 pm. Students are eligible for service hours through Meals of Hope.
CALL COMMITTEE UPDATE: The call committee – that is looking for a pastor at Oil Well Road -- is still hard at work. They are working with the Florida Bahama Synod as well as the hired consultant.
They ask for your prayers as they search far and wide. Thank you!
MODULAR UPDATE:
The modular is currently in production, and we’re eagerly awaiting the final clearance of some remaining permits.
Our hope is that by the time the modular is complete, the permits will be approved—allowing us to move forward with installation and site finishing so we can begin worshiping in the new space.
Thank you for your continued prayers and support during this exciting time!
