New 7-week Bible Study in January 2024— “Enjoying your relationship”
Faciliated by Pat & Sheila Smith
Whether married for 50 years, in the first year of your marriage, recently engaged, or considering entering into a relationship, we do well to look to the scriptures to understand God’s truth of marriage. In light of the shifting cultural views of marriage around us, in this study we will discover together God‘s intended design for marriage as revealed in His Word.
We will be using “Enjoying your Relationship” from the First Principles Series. To preview or order the material click here.
