IT’S TIME TO CHANGE OUR CLOCKS!
Daylight Saving Time ends this weekend! Don’t forget to turn your clocks back one hour before you go to bed on Saturday night. Enjoy the extra hour of sleep—and we’ll see you Sunday morning for worship!
THIS SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 2 - ALL SAINTS SUNDAY
Join us for worship on All Saints Sunday, November 2, 2025, as we remember and give thanks for all the saints—those who have gone before us in faith and those who walk beside us today. As a symbol of hope and resurrection, we invite you to wear white as we celebrate the light of Christ that continues to shine through every generation of believers.
ENDOWMENT FUND LOOKING FOR NEW MEMBERS: The Emmanuel Lutheran Church’s Endowment Committee was formed about the year 2000. Part of our responsibilities are reviewing, approving and funding outreach ministry programs as well as non-budgeted church expenses. The committee is responsible for review and investment of Endowment Funds. For example, the Endowment Fund has supported youth scholarship grants, supported Ukraine through Lutheran World Relief as well as the recent Radical Giving event.
As is written in Matthew 25:44-45 “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’ He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do it for me.’”
The Endowment Committee is currently looking for three new members to work on this very worthwhile committee. Prayerfully, will you consider joining us? If you have any questions, please contact Linda Cummings at lcummingsart@icloud.com or 239-206-7118. Deadline to inquire is November 7.
THE FAMILY LIFE CENTER HAS A NEW NAME!
We’re excited to share that the Family Life Center is now the Life Center!
This new name better reflects our vision for the space—a welcoming, multipurpose gathering place for everyone in our church community. Whether it’s for fellowship, learning, service, or celebration, the Life Center is a place where all are invited to connect and grow together.
FAMILY LIFE CENTER RENOVATION UPDATE
This week, the renovation has made exciting progress! A major focus has been on AV installation, including new TVs by the stage and matching monitors along the south wall, creating a cohesive and modern look. New furnishings continue to arrive, including round and rectangular tables, enhancing both style and functionality.
Finishing touches are underway in the bathrooms, and new blinds are being installed throughout the space. The sound booth is nearing completion, ensuring top-quality audio for future events. In the kitchen, preparations are underway for the installation of a brand-new floor, bringing us one step closer to a fully refreshed space.
The Family Life Center is really coming together, and we can’t wait for everyone to enjoy the updated facilities!
