When you call Holy Cross Lutheran, the voice you will hear answering is Mary Helen Terrell. She is one of the original church members when the congregation was organized in 1957.

Mary Helen is the answer lady. When you walk into her office, you can see the doormat revealing the following truth: “Do you want to talk to the man in charge or to the woman who really knows what is going on?”
