CELEBRATING BEATRICE’S MINISTRY AND NEXT CHAPTER:
Beatrice has faithfully served Emmanuel Lutheran Church in many capacities since beginning her journey with Emmanuel Academies in 2020. Answering a call into ministry, she officially began her internship here at Emmanuel in 2024—though she had already been serving with heart and dedication for two years prior.
Throughout her time with us, we have watched her grow, supported her in prayer, and cheered her on every step of the way. Now, we joyfully celebrate the completion of her internship and look ahead with excitement as she opens herself to a pastoral call in the ELCA.
Congratulations, BB! Your Emmanuel family is so proud of you and grateful for all the ways you have blessed our community. May God guide your path and continue to use your gifts in powerful ways.

YOUR INVITED: EMMANUEL FAMILY PICNIC! JUNE 1, 2025 | 12:00 PM

IN LOVING MEMORY OF THERESA SHAW.
It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Theresa Shaw, Emmanuel’s Executive Director, who went home to the Lord on May 15. Theresa was a true blessing to everyone around her—her kindness, wisdom, and unwavering faith touched the lives of so many within our church community and beyond.
We continue to hold her husband, Michael, and their children close in prayer during this time of deep sorrow.
If you would like to send a card or note of condolence to the Shaw family, you are welcome to mail it or drop it off at the church office.
Please address it as follows:
Mr. Michael Shaw
c/o Emmanuel Lutheran Church
777 Mooring Line Drive
Naples, Florida 34102
On behalf of Michael and family, thank you for your continued love, support, and prayers. May we honor her memory by embodying the grace and compassion she so freely gave to others.
