Elemental Ministry<\/strong>\u00a0is a child-attentive, young family-focused, intergenerational experience of connection, creativity, elemental engagement, and faith. Rooted in the basic elements of earth, water, fire, and air, and the worship elements of gather, word, meal, send,\u00a0Elemental Worship<\/strong>\u00a0is fully inclusive of people of all ages and abilities.<\/p>\n

Elemental Ministry is being piloted by\u00a0Holy Cross Lutheran Church<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0and Pastor Teresa Stewart in Spring Hill, Florida. Holy Cross is a congregation dedicated to sharing the love of Christ. Families have indicated that the traditional ways, routines, and places of church are not fitting with their lifestyles, so we are committed to sharing the life-giving Gospel in non-traditional ways, in a routine that is especially fitting, and at pleasant places.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n \n <\/div>\n\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\n\t
