Couples, have you ever experienced a dryness in your marriage? Have you found forgiveness in your marriage and family life challenging? Have you been hurt or have you held back forgiveness or do you just need a restart in your own relationship. Join us as we continue this year’s Marriage Enrichment Series, When the Wine Runs Dry, and turn to Our Lord for his healing when the wine runs dry. 

Exodus 90 Kick Off Jan. 4 - For freedom Christ has set us free. (Galatians 5:1). This 90-day spiritual exercise for men kicks off Jan. 4, 6:15p.m., in the Gathering Space Meeting Room. It’s a great way to experience this freedom as a living reality.

At the beginning of each Following Christ & Sharing Christ courses, we provide a time for fellowship over dessert. Help others grow in their relationship with Christ in a personal way by volunteering to provide a sweet treat for the participants. Either store-bought or homemade would be great. Or help with hospitality in serving our guests.
