Ellen Krause
Director of MOMS @ Village Church
Favorite Bible character (other than Jesus) and why:
Jonathan – I admire the selfless nature of Jonathan and the friendship he shared with David. Their relationship was based on their common love for God and their desire for God’s best for each other.
Date and place of birth:
September 19; Elgin, IL
Ideal vacation:
One where I can alternate days between rest & relaxation on a hammock on the beach and then sightseeing and experiencing new cultures.
If I had a different job, I would be:
Owner of a scrapbooking bed and breakfast on the shores of Door County where I could make wonderful breakfasts for my guests.
Favorite city outside of Chicago:
Ephraim, WI
Nobody knows I:
am a seamstress
Childhood ambition:
I wanted to be a coroner like Quincy. That sounds bloody awful to me now!
Life verse:
Galatians 5:22,23
But when the Holy Spirit controls our lives, he will produce this kind of fruit in us: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Here there is no conflict with the law.
Transforming experience(s):
My first day at MOMS. I will never forget such a warm welcome-the worship music, smell of egg casseroles, smiles and laughing, and such an overriding sense of God’s presence. It was a place I knew I felt at home.
Favorite pastimes:
Cooking, baking, scrapbooking, reading, gardening, needlepoint, Victorian paper lace, cross stitching
