🎉 Meet Kennedie Anderson, our student teacher in the Kindergarten classroom this semester! 🍎👩🏫
Kennedie is a senior at York University, finishing her degree in Elementary Education. She originally came to York to play college softball 🥎 but also competed as a dancer for a season at the University 💃. She continues to play softball for the Panthers while balancing her studies and student teaching.
Kennedie will graduate in April and is excited to get married in June! 💍 They plan to settle in York, where he will serve as an assistant coach for the York University Baseball team ⚾, and she hopes to find a teaching position in this wonderful community.
Kennedie has loved her time so far at Emmanuel-Faith, where she’s felt warmly welcomed by students, parents, and staff. 💕 She’s especially enjoyed being part of the Kindergarten classroom, where her students keep her on her toes and make learning so much fun! She’s grateful for Ms. Pope, who is a fantastic mentor and example both in and out of the classroom.
Let’s give Kennedie a warm welcome as she completes her student teaching and prepares for an exciting future ahead! 🌟✨ #TeamEF #FutureTeacher
Our book fair is open today from 9am - noon in the Emmanuel Fellowship Hall. Stop by between worship to shop and support the school!

Tomorrow is Race to the Finish Day – Wear athletic gear, sneakers, or sports jerseys to symbolize running the race of faith. 🏃♂️➡️👟
📖DEVOTION
The Christian life is described as a race that requires endurance and focus. We persevere not by our own strength but by relying on Christ, who has already completed the race and waits to welcome us at the finish line. Through prayer, study and fellowship, we find the strength to keep our faith steadfast and our eyes fixed on Jesus.
🙏 PRAYER
Father in heaven, grant us the strength to persevere in faith. May we always keep our eyes fixed on Jesus as we seek to follow Your will. Amen.

Tomorrow is Joyful & Bright Day – Wear bright colors, happy patterns, or shirts that bring joy to others. 🌞
📖DEVOTION
Jesus faced the cross with joy because He knew the outcome — eternal life for all who believe in Him. The joy He experienced is the same joy promised to us in the hope of everlasting life. As we live in this world, we hold firmly to the joy of salvation and the peace of God’s promises.
🙏PRAYER
Dear Lord, we thank You for the joy that comes from following You. May we find joy in Your promises and be strengthened by the hope of life eternal. Amen.
#NLSW2025 #TeamEF #Joyful&Bright
Tomorrow is Show Your "Saints Pride Day" – Wear your E-F spirit wear, blue/white clothing, or an item that shows others your faith (crosses, Bible verses, etc.).
🪙💵 Don't forget that PENNY WARS are happening all week! We are also still collecting Chapel offering this month for our Hearts for Jesus project, Calvary Academy in Lusaka, Zambia!
📖✝️ DEVOTION
The cross is the heart of our faith. It reminds us of Jesus’ suffering and His victory over sin and death. Jesus bore the cross for our sake, enduring pain and shame so that we could have eternal life. In our own lives, we are encouraged to carry our crosses by faithfully enduring trials, trusting in Christ’s redemptive work.
🙏 PRAYER
Almighty God, we thank You for the gift of Your Son, who endured the cross for our salvation. Help us to remember and honor His sacrifice in our daily lives. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

🙏 PRAYER Lord Jesus, help us keep You at the center of our lives. May we look to You for guidance and strength in all things, remembering Your love and sacrifice for us. Amen.
