Grand Monday Nights

This week's webinar:
Long Distance Grandparenting – Creative New Ideas for Today’s World
Join us for Grand Monday Nights, a FREE weekly webinar sponsored by The Legacy Coalition. Click on the link below to register. As grandparents, God calls us to be involved in the lives of our families. In fact, it is a two-generational involvement that He is calling us to. Due to our relation and position in the family, we have a tremendous opportunity to impact our grandchildren. We challenge you to double down your efforts this coming year to use your natural involvement and potential impact to intentionally influence your grandchildren toward spiritual matters. Contact Jennifer Piver to receive help registering and with any questions (850-291-5331 OR JPiver@FUMCPensacola.com).
