blended & blessed
A Family Ministry of New Brighton Methodist Church
Blended family life is tough!â
But it doesn't have to be.
Blended & Blessed is a monthly gathering for stepfamilies and blended households to connect, grow, and be encouraged. Whether you're navigating parenting roles, forgiveness, unity, or simply the day-to-day challenges of blending lives, you're not alone.
Join us in person on the 2nd Wednesday of each month at 6PM, with a follow-up Zoom session two weeks later. Through real talk, biblical truth, and practical tools, we’ll walk this journey together — because blending isn't easy, but it is possible with grace.

What Is Blended & Blessed?
Blended & Blessed is a faith-based ministry designed to support, equip, and encourage blended families—stepfamilies, remarried couples, single parents navigating co-parenting, and anyone walking through the unique dynamics of combining households. It’s a space to be real, to grow spiritually, and to find hope in God’s plan for your family.

Why This Ministry Matters
Blended families face real challenges—conflicting parenting styles, complex relationships, feelings of rejection or resentment, and questions about belonging. It’s not uncommon to feel isolated or overwhelmed. But the truth is: you are not alone. God sees you, loves your family, and has purpose in your journey. Blended & Blessed exists to bring biblical truth, practical wisdom, and community into the heart of your family story.
