☀️ This morning in chapel, we welcomed Pastor Schulz from Mission Central! He shared about our new missionary family, Daniel and Marie Lowitz, who will serve in the Dominican Republic.
We’re grateful for the chance to learn more about their mission and to lift them up in prayer as they prepare to share the love of Christ around the world. 🌎🙏
Thank you, Pastor Schulz, for visiting and inspiring us with the beautiful work happening through Mission Central! #TeamEF
🙌 Skip the cooking tonight — it’s Arby’s Night! Eat at York Arby’s between 4–8pm, tell the cashier “Emmanuel-Faith benefit night”, and Arby’s will donate 20% back to us.
🌟 Meet Nick Bethune! 🌟

We are excited to welcome David Batty (Mr. Dave) to our Emmanuel-Faith team as a Resource Aide! 🎉
Mr. Dave’s path has included many different roles—all connected by his passion for helping people learn and grow. He began his career as a substitute teacher, later worked in behavioral health, and most recently served as the Director at Wessels Living History Farm. 🏫🌾 It was during his time at Wessels that he rediscovered his love for teaching, especially when hosting field trips and classes.
Family is at the center of Mr. Dave’s life. ❤️ He and his wife Cindy have been married 33 years and live in York with their two dogs, Mitzi 🐾 (a rescued Miniature Schnauzer) and Rikki 🐶 (a Schnauzer/Chihuahua mix). Together they enjoy visiting relatives, spending time with their pups, and making lasting memories.
In his free time, Mr. Dave loves reading 📚, watching sports ⚾🏈🏀, fishing 🎣, and simply enjoying time with family. For him, true success is measured by kindness, faith in the Lord, and the love of family and friends. ✝️💙
Join us in giving Mr. Dave a warm welcome to #TeamEF! 🎉
