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! π§Ή π¨βπ§
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. π οΈ 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.

πMeet Mike Neidowπ
Letβs get to know Pastor Mike, our beloved shepherd at Emmanuel Lutheran Church! π 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 & βelevator ridesβ.
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. π
Pastor Mike's journey in ministry began 40 years ago after his graduation from Concordia Seminary in St. Louis in 1984. π Since then, he has served in two other congregations β St. Paul in Fulton, MO, and Messiah in Lincoln, NE, before joining us here at Emmanuel in 2005. βͺ
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! πΆπ
Let's give thanks for Pastor Mike's unwavering dedication to our congregation and the love he pours into our community every day! ππ #PastorAppreciation #MeetOurStaff #TeamEFππ

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.

πMeet Holly Tonnigesπ
Say hello to Holly, our Kitchen Manager extraordinaire at Emmanuel-Faith for 15 years! π½οΈ
What does Holly love most about her role? It's the pure delight on the kids' faces when they know she's been baking her famous rolls or bread! π She also cherishes the opportunity to witness their growth and maturity year after year. π±
Holly's journey to the school kitchen began when she was a stay-at-home mom, seeking solace and purpose after the loss of her mother. π She started volunteering, gradually finding herself more drawn to Emmanuel-Faith and its community. Eventually, she was asked to run the kitchen and was warmly welcomed by her dear friends and mentors, Joy Lessig and Diana Lewis. π€
Outside of work, Holly finds true joy in her family life. π Married to her best friend, Todd, for 27 years, she's a proud mom to three step-children, two daughters, and is a loving grandma to five grandchildren! π₯° Plus, let's not forget her furry companions β Cosmo the golden doodle and Nixon the grand-dog! πΎ
Let's show our appreciation for Holly's dedication, love and delicious buns that she brings to our school lunch program! π #KitchenManager #TeamEF #MeetOurTeamππ½οΈ
