Marriage Enrichment November Session
Saturday | November 13
Parish Hall
When we marry someone, we are making a covenant with them to be a witness. We live our lives being an eyewitness to our spouse's actions and words. There is a hidden symmetry to this witness. God aids our marriages to see each other through the lens of love, even when it seems most difficult.
Presentation & Discussion with Sarah Brockwell
Couples will reflect on being a witness to a life of love and having an attitude of gratitude as we approach the Thanksgiving season.
Registration required.
Please bring a potluck side dish to share with the group.
$30 | Couple
(includes two copies of 'Rejoice!' Advent book and dinner)
