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.
For fathers and daughters of all ages!

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!
