Ron: Does your church have a ministry to stepfamilies?
Announcer: For FamilyLife Blended®, here’s Ron Deal.
Ron: We asked our Facebook followers that question. We thought it was a simple question, but, boy, did it strike a nerve. The views of that post were 14x our average, and shares, comments and likes were 16x. Lynsey replied, “No, I’ve never heard of a church that did.” Kristen said, “Yes, we do. Including conferences, weekly classes, and mentors…it is an amazing blessing. And then Melissa said, “No, and in our first few years of blending we desperately needed the support. Congregations are full of blended families. Let’s fix this.”
You know, Melissa, we at FamilyLife Blended agree. Let’s fix this! For FamilyLife Blended, I’m Ron Deal.
