Jacob’s Ministry
“The days I held our grandsons for the first time marked one of the joyous experiences of my life. Not unlike, I expect, the experience of the patriarch, Jacob, when he first embraced his grandsons, Ephraim and Manasseh, after Jacob’s reunion with them and their father Joseph in Egypt.” - Sue Williamson - founder of Jacob’s Ministry
For many older Americans, the role of grandparenting presents a more difficult experience. There are grandparents who, for various reasons, have had to resume the parenting role and raise their grandchildren. Those special “parents” face a variety of physical, emotional, legal, and financial issues, often with little opportunity to find information or support for them with their unique life challenges.
Oakland Avenue United Methodist Church in Sharon will open its doors on the second Tuesday of each month at 7:00 PM, starting December 11, 2018, to offer support and encouragement to these special grandparents.
Join us as we begin this new ministry, Jacob’s Ministry.
