DATE NIGHT CHALLENGE

Let me encourage of our couples to be a part of the Date Night Challenge, coming on Saturday, February 10, 6:00 - 9:00 p.m. This is a strategic initiative and opportunity for you, our church and the community. For each of our couples we want to help strengthen your marriage and take some time for evening of fun and laughter and discover how "doing dating differently" can change your relationship and strengthen your marriage. That's right, going out is in again! In addition, the Date Night Challenge is an opportunity to help grow our church and impact families in our community. Let me challenge you to plan on participating in this event, invite at least one other couple to join you, and perhaps you may even want to sponsor a table. Cost for the event is only $15.00 per person and includes a first class dinner and a delightful and encouraging presentation brought to you by "Focus on the Family", our ministry partner for this event. Child care is available on a limited first-come-first-serve basis. The presentation will include music from Michael O'Brien, the family-friendly and family-focused humor of comedian Jeff Allen, the wise counsel of Dr. Greg & Erin Smalley and Pastor Samuel Rodriguez. Check out these websites to get a taste of what's in store:
