Join us for the EMM Vision and Fundraising banquet

EMM Banquet November 12 at 6 p.m. | Doubletree Resort by Hilton December 3 at 11 a.m. | Westview Community Room at Landis Homes February 17 at 12 p.m. | Sarasota Community Church You are invited to join us for an EMM vision and fundraising banquet. “Behold, I have set before you an open door, which no one is able to shut.” — Revelation 3:8 (ESV) In Revelation 3:8, Jesus speaks to a faithful church with “little power” and points them not to what they lack, but to what He has placed before them: an open door. The door is His to open, the way is His to make, and what He opens, no one can shut. EMM is committed to faithfully following where God leads as He opens doors for the gospel across neighborhoods, nations, homes and hearts. We have the privilege of seeing faith take root, lives transformed, and the name of Jesus carried into places we could never reach by our own strength.  You are invited to EMM’s annual vision and fundraising banquet to celebrate the doors God is opening around the world, hear stories of His faithfulness, and discover how you can partner with us through prayer, participation, giving, or going.

Dear Phil, Thanks4Giving is back — our season of gratitude, generosity, and community — and this year, it has a theme we're excited to share with you:     Hope Happens Here     Not somewhere far away. Not in the abstract. Here — in Northern Lancaster County, in the families we see each week, in the volunteers who show up, in the shelves at Warehouse916 that only stay full because people like you keep filling them.     Over the next few months, we’re going to make this theme the thread that ties Thanks4Giving together. We see Hope growing every week, but in order to keep that Hope growing, we have to share it with you, our faithful supporters.     We see Hope in the hearts of people who choose to serve others despite their own personal tragedies. We see Hope in families who are willing to meet with us and walk alongside us before a crisis happens. We see Hope in new friends who know they need help but don’t know where to start until they walk through our doors.     These aren’t just stories. They have names, faces, and lives behind them. And this fall, we’d like to invite you to become part of those stories. Here's what's ahead this Thanks4Giving season: October — Our End of Year campaign begins, kicking off with FaithfulGIVE (October 18–20), a three-day giving event where your donation goes even further thanks to mission-aligned incentives. November — Cocalico Cooks 4 REAL (November 12th), a community event bringing people together around good food and a good cause. December — Giving Tuesday, and the final stretch of Thanks4Giving 2026.     We'll share more details on each as they get closer. For now, we just wanted you to know it's coming — and that we hope you'll walk through this season with us.     Thank you for being part of a community where Hope isn't just a word. It's the name of the One who brings it, and this wouldn’t be possible without your willingness to act when you hear His call! With gratitude, Robyn Iordanescu REAL Life Community Services
