What's your family like?

This week we're kicking of a series of ENCOUNTER issues all about families. Keep reading and you'll find articles about being adopted, living with grandparents, parent who are ill, parents who have passed away, and parents who are divorced.

How has God brought you closer together? What have you learned from your church family? Leave a comment and share a story from your life.
