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.

CELEBRATING OUR GRADUATING HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS! 🎓
This past Sunday, Emmanuel honored five of our graduating high school seniors with a special gift from the heart. Thanks to the beautiful work of our Emmanuel Quilting Ministry, each senior received a handmade quilt—a warm and meaningful reminder that they are forever wrapped in the love, prayers, and support of their church family.
Seniors attending Emmanuel Lutheran Church received their quilts in the breezeway, surrounded by family, friends, and the Emmanuel community. At Emmanuel Community Church, quilts were presented at the beginning of the service. For those attending our Park Church, Lucy Ramsey, one of our quilters, personally delivered the quilts with blessings and heartfelt congratulations.
We are so proud of these young men and women as they step into a new chapter of their lives. Please continue to keep them in your prayers as they move forward, carrying the love of their Emmanuel family with them wherever they go!
Congratulations to our 2025 high school graduates:
ELC: Isabella Graney, Jayden Wampler, Ty Jakubielski
ECC Community: Alina Laranquent
EPC: Savanah Sallee
REFRESHING THE CHAPEL: We’re excited to share some progress on the refreshment of our chapel! Sconce lighting was installed this week, and the drop ceiling has been repaired. The new carpet has been laid, and the wallpaper behind the cross will be going up over the next week or two. We’re also looking forward to the arrival of the new furnishings, which should be in place within the next 6-8 weeks, though some items are on back order. Thank you for your patience as we continue to enhance this beautiful space!
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!
