Filling in a gap!

The church has support groups for Divorce Care, Addiction, etc. but usually there aren't resources for blended families. There are SOOOO many challenges to blending two families into one. I enjoy listening to Scott and Vanessa's podcasts as they have a genuine interest in helping blended families!!!!!
