Holy Cross Lutheran Church's Legacy

Dear Friends,

With joy and thanksgiving, we share with you the news that Inspiritus recently received a significant legacy gift to support our work and our ministry. This gift was made possible through the closure of Holy Cross Lutheran Church in Hiram, Georgia.

It was the hope of members of Holy Cross that the proceeds from the sale of its property could bring new life through the work we do at Inspiritus to assist our most vulnerable and medically fragile individuals on a path from surviving to thriving. We are honored to be chosen as a recipient of such a gift.

In his letter to Inspiritus, Bishop Kevin Strickland, Southeastern Synod, ELCA, wrote, “May God’s continued blessing from the life and work of Holy Cross Lutheran Church and their faithfulness be a blessing to those who you serve.” Given the current global pandemic and the increased demands across the three states in which we operate, these funds will support our program needs as we continue to accompany hundreds of individuals and families across our footprint.

We honor today those for whom Holy Cross Lutheran Church was their church. May we always be inspired by their legacy of care for the least among us as we continue their ministry.

With Gratitude,

– Virginia Spencer

Vice President of Development
