🌟Meet Mike Neidow🌟
Let’s get to know Pastor Mike, our beloved shepherd at Emmanuel Lutheran Church! 🐑 With nearly four decades of ministry experience, Pastor Mike has been sharing God's Word with our community for almost 19 years through school chapels, Bible studies, confirmation classes, silly costumes & “elevator rides”.
What does he love most about his role? It's the joy of spreading God's message and love to people of all ages, nurturing their faith journeys every step of the way. 🙏
Pastor Mike's journey in ministry began 40 years ago after his graduation from Concordia Seminary in St. Louis in 1984. 🎓 Since then, he has served in two other congregations – St. Paul in Fulton, MO, and Messiah in Lincoln, NE, before joining us here at Emmanuel in 2005. ⛪
In his family life, Pastor Mike is blessed with his loving wife, Patti, whom he married in 1985. Together, they have one son, Samuel, who is happily married to Caitlin. They've also been blessed with two grandsons, Bo and Albie, with a third grandson on the way in May! 👶💙
Let's give thanks for Pastor Mike's unwavering dedication to our congregation and the love he pours into our community every day! 🌟🙌 #PastorAppreciation #MeetOurStaff #TeamEF📖🙏

Meet Mr. Foster, or Dick, our generous Volunteer Custodian at Emmanuel Lutheran Church and Emmanuel-Faith Lutheran School! Mr. Foster has been lending his helping hand since 2007, starting back when Eldon Eklund was the custodian. He comes whenever the weather and his health will allow! 🧹 👨🔧
What does he love most about his role? It's all about the kids and the joy of volunteering to stay active and assist wherever needed.
Before his time here, Mr. Foster spent nearly 50 years in the hardware business, working with True Value and then Ace. 🛠️ He's also deeply involved in community service, driving donations to Orphan Grain Train about once a month and helping out at Wessels Living History Farm.
Dick’s brother, Bill, lives in Stanton, NE; and his sister, Jane, is at Willowbrook Assisted Living. He enjoys outdoor activities like working in the yard and taking peaceful walks. 🌳

York County is in a Tornado watch with a storm anticipated at dismissal time. Together with YPS we are monitoring the situation closely. In the event of a Tornado Warning, we would follow alerts from YPS and shelter in place for safety and delay dismissal if necessary. We do plan to move forward with the 6:30 performance of the Operetta and will keep families updated through text message as needed.
The 3-5 Operetta is here!
Doors will open at 1:00 for the 1:30 performance and at 5:45 for the 6:30 performance.
If you are attending the 1:30 show, please park in the east parking lot by the playground. You may enter the east doors under the overhang in the middle of the building or through the south doors. Please do not park in the bus lane.
Both of these entrances will also be open for the evening show.
God's Blessings on these performances!
We've had some special announcers for the months of February, March, and April! Thanks to Lily, Beckett, and Landry for helping Mr. Wellmann and Miss Krista share important information with the school! They did an awesome job 😃 #TeamEF #Believe2023
We hope you can join us this morning in the sanctuary at 8:15am for chapel; the other half of our 8th grade students will be sharing their "Faith Papers" with the school. This will not be available to watch online. #TeamEF #SharingOurFaith
