She has touched the lives of many within and outside of her church, making her more than worthy of a spotlight on this week's episode!! Ellie Coursey, affectionately known by many as "Miss Ellie", has faithfully served Henderson's First Baptist Church as Director of Children's Ministry for just over 25 (twenty five) years! Interestingly enough, however, her career did not begin in ministry. Lend Ellie your ears as she discusses the first ten years of her employment, the inspiration for her career change, and the wide array of programs/initiatives she has coordinated for kiddos and their families. She'll also explain the goals she wishes to achieve prior to retirement, and the reasons she would recommend that we lend our time and talents to our respective churches. Even if you've never been privileged to know Ellie, you'll quickly understand why she has meant so much to so many, as she details her career endeavors over the course of our conversation.
