ONE Camping Retreat!

A group from our singles' ministry will be roughing it (yeah right!) tonight into tomorrow. They'll be sacrificing all (only a few) modern comforts to appreciate the handiwork of the Creator as they seek to grow in love for Him and each other.

Would you take a moment today to pray for this group? They are a precious part of our church family and we want to see God meet them. Here's a few specific things you could pray for:

1. Refreshment and rejuvenation that they might serve and glorify God more
2. Growth in their love for one another as brothers and sisters in Christ
3. Unforeseen opportunities to meet others at the campground and share the gospel with them

Thanks for partnering in prayer.

Lastly, when you see them all on Sunday, be sure to ask how the trip went!

Guest Reception

Are you new to the church? Maybe you've been once or twice and would like to get to know us a little bit better. If that's you, we'd love to provide lunch for you. Join us after the service this Sunday, May 5th for food and some great company. It's the perfect next step in getting to know the folks who make up our church. 

Look for flyers with directions in the church lobby after the service this weekend.

Marriage Seminar Reunion

Remember the marriage seminar? Love that Lasts with Gary and Betsy Ricucci? What a great weekend!

Unfortunately, odds are good you probably haven't had much time to discuss and apply everything. Maybe not at all. Or at least not with other married couples. Life is moving fast and the marriage seminar was soooo long ago.

Host a reunion.

Here's an idea! Pick a date and invite 2 or 3 couples to join you for dinner and a discussion. It could be a quiet restaurant or your home. Enjoy dinner together and ask everyone to come ready to answer a question. Just one. Make it easy.

Suggested questions:

  • What topics are difficult for you to talk about together?
  • What was your most recent conflict and how was it resolved (or not)?
  • What was your top romantic experience of the last year?

Partnering with Pasadena

The conundrum: Young parents need marriage seminars but marriage seminars need childcare. Lots of childcare! Who is going to watch our children while we learn?

Love that Lasts: How the gospel changes real marriages. 

Thank You Pasadena!  Anthony, Molly, Chris, Arron, Courtney, Haylie, and Keiren (and Annalise!). You made a lot of little people (and big people) very happy.
