Elaine Zimmerman

Elaine Zimmerman will be sharing today the remarkable and beautiful journey God allowed her to travel with her daughter, Stacie, who has a complex seizure syndrome and intellectual and developmental disabilities.  Elaine is a pastor’s wife, mother, and Lutheran elementary school teacher (retired).  She serves on the Disability Ministry Task Force for the California-Nevada-Hawaii District of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod.  Out of her life experiences with her daughter, Elaine has a passion for walking together with people who have disabilities and with their families.  She is active in various ministries at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Napa, including teaching a twice-monthly Sunday Bible class for adults with special needs.
