Bethel Seminary St. Paul
A.M. Breakout Session - Family Mosaic
|
Ministering to the Mosaic of Blended Families A majority of today’s children will witness the
disruption of either their parent’s marriage or their own by divorce.
As parents with children remarry, the long-term effects these blended
families have on the children, all surviving parents (involved or not
involved), extended families, society and the church, are often
alarming. In this session we will discuss the complex issues that blended families bring to our ministries and consider our response as the church. |
