December Family Worship Services<\/h3>\t\t\t

In these times, we are unable to gather with all the people we love. As a result, it\u2019s easy to feel distant and lonely. So this Christmas season, we want to do something special to remind you that you are not alone; you belong to this faith family.<\/p>\n

From Dec 13-27, our Sunday morning schedule will be as follows:
\n9:45-10:20AM \u2013 Family Worship Service
\n10:30-11:00AM \u2013 Community Sharing through Zoom (Click here<\/a> to join)<\/p>\n

Our hope is that, through these times of worship and community sharing, you will be reminded that Jesus didn\u2019t just come to save you to be a child of God, He saved you to be a part of His family.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Meaning of Marriage Course: Jan-Mar 2021<\/h3>\t\t\t

\u201cMarriage has the power to set the course of your life as a whole. If your marriage is strong, even if all the circumstances in your life around you are filled with trouble and weakness, it won’t matter. You will be able to move out into the world in strength.\u201d \u2013 Tim Keller<\/em><\/p>\n

Marriage is both a gift and a responsibility from God. Those who have been gifted with marriage have also been entrusted with the work of marriage.<\/p>\n

The Meaning of Marriage is a course that teaches why God gave us the gift of marriage and points us to the timeless truths that marriage illustrates. It also highlights how we can faithfully fulfil our responsibility as a husband\/wife.<\/p>\n

The authors, Tim & Kathy Keller, believe \u201ctruth is transformative when processed in community.\u201d Therefore, this class demands participants to commit to the full 10 meetings, opening themselves to new insights through the sharing of struggles and the implementation of biblical truths. Students will commit to finishing their reading and workbook assignments for each class.<\/p>\n

Class size is limited. Please click here<\/a> to sign up.<\/p>\n

The required texts for this course are: The Meaning of Marriage and The Meaning of Marriage, the Workbook, both of which are written by Tim and Kathy Keller.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
