We’ll take a long look at the Serenity Prayer on Sundays in December and consider timeless truths we might glean from it and in light of the Christ’s birth! Join us in person and online on Friday, Dec. 24 at 3, 4:30 and 6 p.m. for our Christmas Eve services, where we will sing classic songs, enjoy inspiring moments, and hear an uplifting and insightful message about our Savior Jesus, “The Good Shepherd.”

We know that your job as a mom doesn’t stop when your kiddos head off to school. Though new challenges and struggles arise as you enter into the school years with your kids, the need for community, hope, and friendship remains. That’s why we offer MOMSnext, a group specifically designed to meet the needs of moms with school-age children.
FX is an amazing event taking place on the first Sunday of the month in Knox Hall. Kids (K-Grade 5) bring parents and grandparents to learn about what is being taught that month in WardKids. This high-energy, high-production drama, games and interactions introduce a memorable virtue, with attitudes and behaviors to match.
We have carefully curated a list of trusted resources to help you navigate any mental health challenges you, or a loved one, may be facing.
Children love to be read to and we love to read! Come to the playground between Entries 3 + 4 and listen to a story and stick around to play! Stories are geared toward preschool-aged children. Registration is not required. Bring your friends!
Before COVID-19, Ward Care Ministries hosted a Grandparents Raising Grandchildren group, but since the pandemic began in March our group has not been able to meet. We want to announce that our group leader, Elaine K. Williams, LMSW, Cht., and author of the book, “The Sacred Work of Grandparents Raising Grandchildren” has started a Facebook page for grandparents raising their grandchildren on a full-time or part-time basis.
July is here and we are excited to announce a family series on Jonah! Each week during Sunday services you can gather around and enjoy church as a family. Adults and kids will be learning about Jonah. It’s a journey through deep fears and anxiety, only trumped by God’s patience, grace and forgiveness. Can’t we all relate? WardKids has created a custom coloring + activity book (for any and all ages) that goes along with Jonah’s journey each week!
