Archive for January, 2012

In 19 years of ministry and hundreds of hours of pastoral counseling, I have repeated a few basic marriage truths countless times.  Now, I’m organizing my top 4 keys to a healthy marriage into one dynamic sermon series this February, “The Marriage Coach.”

Friends, I want you to have the marriage you have prayed for, and this series will move you in the right direction.  I encourage you to make Sundays in February a priority as you determine to invest in your marriage.  Make plans to attend every Sunday.  Come prepared to laugh and learn, but, most importantly, come prepared to receive truths that will immediately begin to improve your marriage.

Even if you are not married, this series will be filled with tools to bring life to any relationship.  Don’t miss out — every relationship needs coaching!

I believe wounded marriages will find healing, and healthy marriages will grow more vibrant.  And I look forward to growing in this process together!

Ready to get to work?  Head over to www.themarriagecoach.us for more details, and send the link to some friends.  They will be glad you did.

January is a great time to focus on setting and reviewing your family’s financial goals.

If you have found yourself ready to take some steps in the right direction, or if you have felt financially stuck, we invite you to attend the “Balancing Your Budget” Discipleship Training class and learn to do what Congress can’t!

Make plans to attend both Sundays, January 22 & 29, from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.  Childcare is provided, and your financial future is waiting.
