Alpha Marriage Course
Is it time for a tune up? Just like every car, every marriage needs some attention to help keep the blessings coming for the long haul.
Beginning tomorrow, on Friday evenings, we will offer the Alpha Marriage Course. We'll begin at 6:30 PM with dinner and together we'll watch a video presentation and then have time to privately discuss some questions that will help us curate better habits and clearer communication in our marriage.
Free childcare will be provided.

"The Reason for God"
Conversations on Faith and Life
We invite you to learn how to speak with people in our culture who share the common objections to the Christian faith. Join us after the service on Sunday for TIm Keller's "The Reason for God."
This video series responds to the questions of open skeptics and ardent believers, draws from literature, philosophy, reason, and real-life conversations to explain how faith in a Christian God is a sound and rational belief.
In six video sessions over nine weeks (with breaks for Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, and the Youth Mission Raffle) we will watch and listen as Pastor Timothy Keller and six panelists hold candid and unscripted discussions about the broad scope of people's discomforts with God, the Bible, and Christianity in general.
We will be challenged to wrestle with our friends' and neighbors' hardest questions and engage those questions in ways that will spark honest, enriching, and humbling dialogue.
Each session in this teaching series will be held after the worship service in the Sanctaury, beginning at 12:30 PM.
