FAMILY LIFE CENTER RENOVATION UPDATE - WEEK 12
Work is moving right along at the Family Life Center! The big milestone this week is the start of window and door removal, giving way to a fresh new look. Inside, crews are hanging drywall in the bathrooms, while outside the finishing touches are being added to the stonework on the east and west walls. Progress is also being made on the north wall of the stage, bringing us one step closer to seeing the space come together beautifully.
Thank you for your continued prayers and support as we move closer to completing these renovations.
RADICAL GIVING CHALLENGE – FOUND IN THE EMMANUEL LUTHERAN CHURCH EMAIL!
Here are some more inspiring stories—and more keep coming!
Rick and Mary multiplied their $50 gift into more than $500, which they donated to Food Pantries SWFL (Meals of Hope) to help feed those in need.
Marion and Rob donated their Radical Giving money to Heroic Gardens, a mental health organization serving U.S. veterans in the Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware area. Their daughter, Collie Turner, founded the organization to support veterans struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, and PTSD. Heroic Gardens uses horticulture as a proven path to healing as an alternative to relying solely on medication. If you would like more information, https://heroicgardens.org/our-board.
Sylvia doubled her radical giving envelope and gave it to Maria, sharing with her the story of Jesus feeding the 5,000. Maria then passed most of the gift to a neighbor in need.
Karl and Rob both increased their Radical Giving money and donated it to St. Matthew’s House. Thanks to a company matching program, their contributions were doubled — multiplying their impact even further. In addition, Rob donated men’s clothing to support those in need.
Let’s continue to inspire each other through generosity!
