Ellen Bishop Little | Discerning Congregational Health, Episode 6
Host: Steve Macchia, Guest: Ellen Bishop Little
“You don’t need a big budget, a lot of people, or a nice building to have the presence of God and loving, caring relationships.” – Ellen Bishop Little
Ellen Bishop Little along with her husband Larry responded to a call to teach at their local church. They chose an unlikely group – two-year-olds! After the first year was finished, they chose to continue moving up each year with the group of children. They stayed with this same group of children all the way to high school. Ellen and Larry provided community for the students as they grew and matured. These same students in turn provided community for Ellen and Larry when Larry became sick and succumbed to cancer. Ellen joins Steve Macchia for a personal story of Healthy Church Trait #4: Learning and Growing in Community.
