SHARING GOD’S LOVE - ONE CHAIR AT A TIME!
This week, Emmanuel passed along 79 of our retired chairs to Faith Evangelical Lutheran Church in Lehigh Acres, Florida. These chairs will be used in several meaningful ways - including supporting their rental ministry and in the preschool, they’re preparing to launch. What a gift to partner with another congregation as they grow and serve their community. Thank you, Emmanuel, for being a church that gives generously and joyfully!

RADICAL GIVING CHALLENGE - SHARE YOUR STORY!
Last week, we unveiled our Radical Giving event—and what an amazing moment it was! We distributed $10,000 across our worship communities—Mooring Line Drive, Oil Well Road, and Emmanuel Community Church.
Each person received an envelope containing $25, $50 or $100, along with a challenge: Spread kindness in a Radical way.
Whether you chose to bless a charity, help someone in need, surprise a stranger, or encourage a friend, your gift has the power to create ripples of generosity. You could even add to your amount or invite friends and family to join in the giving spirit.
Now, we want to hear about your Radical Moment! Send your stories and photos to elc@naplesemmanuel.org so we can share the inspiration with our congregation.
Let’s fill the world with joy—one radical act of giving at a time!
INTRODUCING THE SUNDAY SNAPSHOT:
We’re excited to introduce the Sunday Snapshot — a video featuring the Gospel reading and sermon from Sunday’s service.
Whether you missed worship or simply want to revisit the message, the Sunday Snapshot offers a quick and meaningful way to stay connected and reflect on the week’s teaching.
Watch anytime and share with others who may need a word of encouragement!
INCREDIBLE CONGREGATIONAL RESPONSE - THANK YOU!
The generosity of our Emmanuel community has been overwhelming and so deeply appreciated. Together, we made a huge impact for the students of Emmanuel and Calusa Park Elementary
students and community!
Here’s what we accomplished:
70 backpacks packed for Emmanuel children — each filled with essential school supplies to set our students up for success this year.
Over $3,000 in monetary donations — used to purchase additional supplies and to gift each classroom at Calusa Park Elementary with a $25 gift card.
Thrivent Action Team grant received — a special thank you to Thrivent for supporting this project through their Action Team program.

We’re excited to welcome Susie Summers, Principal, and Stacy Hamburg, School Counselor from Calusa Park Elementary during worship at 9:00 and 10:30 AM:
Thank you to everyone who participated—your generosity is making a difference in the lives of our students and community!
Exciting progress continues on the Family Life Center renovation!
Structural updates – New beams are being installed, and preparations are underway to pour the extended stage, adding three additional feet of space.
Design plans – Final touches are being made for the new altar and pulpit.
Windows & doors – Currently being crafted and assembled off-site.
Bathrooms & kitchen – Flooring is complete in the newly constructed bathrooms, and the kitchen is being decluttered in preparation for its renovation.
Thank you for your prayers, support, and patience as we move forward with these exciting improvements!
Access Reminder:
During construction, the Family Life Center remains closed to the public for safety and efficiency. We are deeply grateful to the generous donor who made this renovation possible through a gift to the capital campaign. Thanks to this incredible generosity, the entire project is fully funded, with no general funds used.
