Emmanuel Community Church Updates
BLESSING OF THE BACKPACKS: It’s hard to believe August is already here—which means it’s time for our children to head back to school! This Sunday, August 3, we will celebrate our children and bless the start of another school year during worship.
We also have a special surprise for all children in Kindergarten through 12th grade. Don’t miss this special moment of encouragement, prayer, and blessing for our students.
BLIZZARD BEACH CHURCH TRIP - A BLESSED DAY OF FELLOWSHIP!
We give thanks to the Lord for a wonderful day at Disney’s Blizzard Beach this past Saturday! Fifty members of our church family enjoyed safe travels to and from Orlando, beautiful weather, and a refreshing time together. From thrilling water rides to relaxing in the lazy river, it was a day filled with joy, laughter, and Christian fellowship.
Thank you for your prayers and support in making this special outing possible!
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!
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.
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!
