Ideas from Nebraska Network

  • Congregational leaders had just received training in this area when asked to name their
    family friendly events and activities. Check back soon for more ministry ideas!

Ideas from North Wisconsin Network

  • St. Luke’s has offered a Divorce Care class since the fall of 2009. Since receiving
    Designing Dynamic Step Families” materials, our lay leader of this ministry has already
    found opportunity to use segments of the DVD in his Divorce Care group.  We are also
    reviewing the whole series with our pastoral staff so that they can use it when the
    opportunity arises in pre-remarriage counseling.  We plan on recruiting more champions
    for this area from some involved stepfamilies in our congregation.  We hope to offer a
    Step Family Class or Saturday morning event in 2011.  (St. Luke’s – Wisconsin Rapids,
    WI)

  • Step family event and Divorce & Kids class (Immanuel – Wisconsin Rapids, WI)

Ideas from Michigan Network
