This will be a great time to be a witness for our Lord.  I would like to encourage every member of our church to plan to be present for this service.  Be on hand to welcome the guests who will be here to see their graduating son or daughter march down the aisle.  Shake hands and welcome each one with a warm smile.

NEW Marriage Course-Sunday, June 26th, we will begin a new DVD-based marriage course by Dr. Emerson Eggerichs, which is based on his book, "Love and Respect."  This course is great for couples who have been married for years, recently married, are engaged, or for singles who desire to be married one day. Together we will learn key Biblical principles for building and maintaining a vibrant and healthy marriage. There is a workbook that is $10, but is not required for the class. Please sign up for this class at the info table or in the cafe. We will meet for 7 weeks on Sunday evenings from 4:00-6:00pm.
