Monthly News & Updates

November 2022 | Issue 4

From the Co-Presidents

Happy November!


What stands out for you in November? For me, it’s Thanksgiving. Sometimes, that represents seeing family from out of state that we don’t get to see often; playing Trivial Pursuit or Spades, looking at old photo albums, and catching up. Other times, it means getting together with friends who may or may not have family close by. In both cases, I’m extremely grateful for the family and friends we have and I give thanks.


We had a great Halloween Party at McFarlane Park. There was a huge turnout of kids in amazing costumes along with several beautiful witches handing out candy. All of the pizza was eaten and that was an amazing feat! We have a lot of activities this month to help you continue build plentiful connections. I hope to see you at some of them.


And by the way, for CPWC, Susan and I are grateful.

Until then, here’s a little ditty on Ellen…so looking forward to having you all meet her❣️


Ellen has over 20 years of leadership experience in business, nonprofit and ministry. She graduated from the University of Mississippi with a degree in Fashion Merchandising & Business and went on to work for 15 years in the retail and consumer goods industry in various sales, marketing, and management roles, the longest being 11 years with Newell Brands, Calphalon Division. Leaving to spend more time with her family in 2013 gave Ellen time to reevaluate her priorities and see more clearly what was coming next. In that time, God called her to seminary at age 40 which turned out to be completely transforming. Ellen earned a Master of Arts in Christian Leadership from Dallas Theological Seminary in 2019. Most recently, she worked with a local Atlanta nonprofit called Kidz2Leaders as the Community Relations Manager. She is very active in her community and loves leading a bible study and small group for middle school girls each week. Ellen & her husband James have been married for over 18 years and they, along with their two daughters, live outside Atlanta.
