Ellen Weber

Church: Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, Munising

Nominated by Becky of Munising
Ellen Weber is so special to us. John and Ellen have been serving at our church for 9 years and she has been a blessing since the day she arrived. Ellen is the "typical" pastors wife and so much more. She is quiet and unassuming so that you wouldn't notice things that she has done unless you looked carefully because she never wants attention drawn to herself. She works tirelessly making quilts for Lutheran World Relief. Ellen and a few women friends get together on Mondays and quilt. They also make prayer shawls to give to people in the community who are ill. They send these shawls out with lots of prayer to each recipient to wrap themselves in for comfort when they are not feeling well. Ellen makes beautiful banners for our small church to enjoy. Our church cannot afford to buy these banners but if we find one that we like Ellen can make one for us to enjoy and they are so beautiful! Whenever it is Ellens turn to make "treats" for coffee hour there is a long line at the counter because she is famous for her homemade cinnamon rolls. Ellen has organized a dinner that is held at a nearby mission congregation. The small church and town are struggling so other churches have taken turns serving a meal on Sunday afternoons to the people in this community. Ellen never hesitates to cook, bake, sew, quilt, or do any chore necessary behind the scenes and never asks for a thank you or a pat on the back for a job well done. She is amazing and we love her dearly!
