 Armageddon: The Cosmic Battle of the Ages by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins

The scattered Tribulation Force is drawn toward the Middle East, as are all the armies of the world, when human history culminates in the battle of the ages.

During the last year of the Great Tribulation, safe houses are no longer safe and the world has become a powder keg of danger. Except for those already in Petra, everyone has been forced to relocate as the Antichrist ratchets up the pressure in the world’s most treacherous game.

As the Tribulation Force waits for the coming of Christ, Chloe Williams is drawn out of the safe house to investigate something suspicious. Buck and Tsion travel to Jerusalem while Nicolae Carpathia orders an attack on the city, and Rayford becomes seriously injured outside Petra. Who will survive Armageddon?

Left Behind: A Novel of the Earth's Last Days by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins

On a Boeing 747 headed to London, passengers instantaneously disappear from their seats, resulting in terror and chaos for those left behind―not only throughout the plane, but also worldwide as the apocalypse begins.

EMF Clothing Drive Brings Community Together to Support Students in Need

 

The EMF school district is continuing to show its strong sense of community through an effort to help
students in need. On Sunday, November 2, the district hosted a Clothing Swap and Drive at the Friend library, led by school nurse Korin Arp, who saw a growing need for clothing and shoes among students.

“I was inspired to do the clothing drive after seeing that some students didn’t have what they needed,” Arp explained. “Whether it’s shoes that fit, warm coats for the winter, or everyday clothes, I wanted to find a way to help meet that need.”

The event encouraged community members to come together and donate gently used clothing items for children of all ages. Arp said she was thrilled with the level of participation and generosity shown by families, staff, and community members. 

“The participation from everyone has been awesome,” she said. “Everyone coming together to donate to kids in need is wonderful. It’s been heartwarming to see how much people care.”

Tables at the Friend site library were filled with shirts, pants, coats, and shoes. Families were welcome to browse through the donations and pick what they needed at no cost. The event aimed to make clothing accessible to all, ensuring that every student in the EMF community can stay comfortable and confident throughout the school year. 

After the event, any leftover items will be donated to the “Bobcat Boutique,” a resource available to students in the school district. The boutique provides clothing and other essentials to students in need throughout the year, including new students who may arrive with limited supplies.

“I think the clothing drive benefits our school community by providing a way that students can come with no questions asked and get clothing items or a coat if they are in need,” Arp said. “Hopefully no student has to go without a coat or warm clothes this winter.”

Arp emphasized that the drive would not have been possible without the generosity of the EMF community. “I’ve had so many people reach out wanting to help,” she said. “It really shows what kind of community we have - one that looks out for each other.”

As the temperatures begin to drop, Arp hopes the clothing drive and the continued support through the Bobcat Boutique will ensure that every student has what they need to feel comfortable and cared for this winter. “Hopefully all the clothing and coats find homes,” she said, “and we can give them to the children who can use them.”
