Worship

Weekly worship forms the center of our life as a Christian community. We gather to hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ proclaimed, to join our voices together in prayer and song, and to receive the Holy Eucharist. The Holy Eucharist, also known as Holy Communion or The Lord’s supper, is a special act of worship called a sacrament. It is a meal consisting of bread and wine, in which we believe Jesus Christ is truly present. As we eat the bread and drink the wine, we hear Christ’s promises to us proclaimed and we remember his life, sacrificial death and resurrection.

Leadership

Deacon Ellen is a graduate of Trinity Lutheran Seminary in Columbus, Ohio. She was the CEO of Lutheran
Services of Tennessee (now Inspiritus) from 2013-17. She created programs to help people with food
insecurity, women in poverty, and art programs to build resilience in low-income children. She has also
worked in education ministry, worship, and congregational care in ELCA Churches in Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina, and Illinois.

Deacons in the ELCA serve at the intersection of church and world, bringing a sharper focus to how the
church responds to the needs of the people.

We provide shelter and loving care, partnering with area hospices who provide the professional medical care. We offer the opportunity for love, grace, and forgiveness at Welcome Home.
