  • Ministry of the Month - Helen's House

    Our March Ministry of the Month is Helen’s House, a planned refuge for homeless women and children. For years the CITA Mission for Men has received requests for help from women, and Helen’s House, named for Helen Ellison (wife of CITA founder Johnny Ellison), is envisioned as a shelter for homeless women and children. The goal is to provide “a safe haven for women and children where grace will restore, train, and transform lives.” The capital campaign for the Helen’s House building project is well underway, and like the CITA Mission, no state or federal funding is   involved. A residence for up to 48 people is planned to operate with the same principles as CITA (Christ Is the Answer). The website at CITArescuemission.org/helens-house gives additional information about Helen’s House and also includes visuals of the residence hall plans. Helen’s House Thrift Shop is located at 1734 Aurora St.,  Melbourne.

  • Hope Cares

    Hope Cares Hope Cares is a program that takes care of our Hope family. There is a lot that all of us can do to be of help to others here at Hope Lutheran. It may be donating food items for funeral and memorial services or sending out sending greeting cards to the homebound or those celebrating birthdays and anniversaries. Perhaps you would like to bless someone by bringing a meal to them in their time of need, due to injury or surgery, or by giving someone a ride to church. We serve our Lord and share our blessings.
