That’s why for more than 40 years, Family Life has been helping couples understand God’s plan for relationships. The Art of Marriage weaves together expert teaching, real-life stories, humorous vignettes, and more to portray both the challenges and the beauty of God’s design. All, we invite you to come and be encouraged by attending this class. Any couple no matter if you have been married 50 years or 1 year can benefit and grow in God’s design for marriage. We hope to see you there.

Ecclesiastes – Marty Fuentes (B204)
Have you ever had difficulty understanding the book of Ecclesiastes? This is not an easy book to study. There is an underlying theme that wisdom does not come easily. All wisdom requires effort. This book describes God’s interaction with man. There are some things in this book that aren’t repeated anywhere in Scripture. Come join us to do a deep dive into an unique wisdom book in the Old Testament.
Needed: Bible and notebook

The uncertainties in the circumstances of life can unsettle your confidence, shake your faith and cause you to make damaging decisions. Use today to prepare for those tomorrows that only God can know about. This is a 13-week inductive study of Daniel. It will not only help you discover God’s blueprint for the future but mentor you toward personal holiness and give you strength for living. Requires 2-3 hours of homework weekly.
