“It’s not what you have imagined. It is not as much time as you think. And it is more rewarding than you would ever believe.”In spite of some early hesitations, this is how Gary Becker sums up the role of being a deacon. Gary grew up in church, and after he and Stacey married, they were always involved “making ministry happen.”
We’ve created an entirely new mobile experience for members and attendees of Ward Church! Our new app connects to your existing myWARD account which makes it easy to sign up for events, serving opportunities or to make gifts. It also allows us to tailor your app content to you and your family.
We’ve got lots planned for you and your family this season as we celebrate the greatest gift ever given.
Angi has been part of the orchestra since she started attending Ward in 2003. She has also volunteered for events like Football Sunday and A Christmas Festival, serves at the nursery welcome desk, and helps when she can with Days for Girls ministry. She loves that the orchestra is a multi-generational makeup of volunteers.
Our thanksgiving offering this year will help us live out Jesus’ admonition in his Sermon on the Mount to “do to others what you would have them do to you” (Matthew 7:12) by providing weekly worship broadcasts to those unable to attend church in person.
Ward’s Annual Thanksgiving Day Worship Service is a wonderful way to begin your day of thanks to God for all he is and all he has done. Bring the entire family, or invite guests to join you. We will gather at 10 a.m. on Thursday, November 28 in the Sanctuary.
When life is hectic, most of us choose volunteer roles that are calming. Not Todd Ferrier. As backstage manager of WardKids FX: A Family Experience, the intensity of overseeing a team and making sure the live production goes smoothly is a good fit for how God has gifted him.
Families won’t want to miss this completely free, totally entertaining, hands-on Christmas experience! The Christmas Festival includes two showtimes of FX: A Family Experience and an entire afternoon of unforgettable fun!
This year’s Christmas concert on December 7 will feature preeminent modern hymn writers Keith & Kristyn Getty. The concert is built around the Getty’s original Christmas music as well as their love for historic carols and congregational singing. This is a ticketed event and we anticipate a sold-out concert.
