FAMILY TIES
Coming in September! A resource group to share ideas about how parents, children, and grandchildren might keep in touch with and support each other while living at a significant geographical distance. We’ll discuss staying connected during holidays and how families might support members during nodal events (birth, marriage, death, etc.), and other topics of interest. Please join us in the Garden Towers on Wednesday, September 14 at 10am for our first meeting. Campus Pastor Chet Yoder will share from his current experience of having family members in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Michigan, and Florida, for this first meeting.
