On a cold and wintry Sunday afternoon in February, Pulse, Ward’s teen choir, stepped into Marycrest Manor, a nursing home in Livonia, to celebrate Valentine’s Day with and warm the hearts of its residents. With heart-shaped balloons and Valentine’s Day cards in hand, these junior high and senior high students led [...]
In early November a nine-member mission team served in Maxcanú, located in the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico. This was the sixth time Ward mission teams have served the Maya people in this location. The focus of ministry in Maxcanú has been to help with construction of a new church building and assist in providing a [...]
Picture the scene. A quiet tree-lined street on a pleasant November Saturday. In the background, the mellow droning of mowers and leaf blowers lay down a suburban soundtrack. Out the window the lawn is a carpet of reds and oranges. It’s pretty but it means work. … Hours of work. City trucks will rumble by [...]
Ever since I was a little girl of eight years old, I have been visiting nursing homes by myself. I never considered it an exciting or important task; it was just something that was easy for me to do. Now I volunteer to visit Ward members in nursing homes because I see how God has [...]
This year the fifth and sixth grade WinterBlast was at Ward Church so we could try something new and hopefully give more kids the chance to attend. Winter Blast was the weekend of January 22 – 23. On Friday, we sugared up with pizza and pop, just what a kid wants! When we went to [...]

We can do this because of the community-minded giving spirit of Hiller’s Markets, one of our Grace Groceries partners. Hiller’s provides a significant price break on the foods to [...]
One by one and couple by couple, Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University is making a difference in the lives of Ward members and the community. The recently concluded fall class was smaller in size than some but those who attended seemed fully engaged. Make no mistake, FPU is a commitment – 13 weeks of two-hour [...]
The Student Ministries department at Ward has been known to make some unusual purchases to facilitate ministry (shaving cream, water balloons, Spam, and the like) but the recent purchase of four goats and eight chickens was another to add to the list. Epic, Ward’s high school group, generously gave to a special offering to benefit [...]
The recession has caught up with a lot of people right here at Ward. Food donations to Harvest Home were down 35 percent with 108 boxes of non-perishable food this year versus 164 last year. Monetary donations were down 36 percent, but praise the Lord for our Deacons’ Fund! We were still able to increase [...]
