Marriage Enrichment Classes

Can you imagine someone buying a car, thinking they'll never have to do anything but drive it, and expecting it to last forever? They never change the oil or the tires, never take it in for service, never replace the hoses, belts, or plugs. They just assume it will last a lifetime without any care. Ridiculous assumption, isn't it? Yet, the majority of couples adopt that attitude about their marriages. A husband and wife think they can drive their relationship right out of the altar, never do any maintenance on it, and it will last forever. The same logic that tells us a car won't last under those conditions should tell us a marriage won't either. Sad to say, though, many of us take better care of our car than our marriage. Maybe it's just that we need to change our "spark" plugs, perhaps we've been noticing our communication has been "missing." It could be that we need a major overhaul. Most wives might even be quick to say his "block" is cracked!
Whatever tweaking needs to be done, all marriages need it. We will focus on re-tuning our relationship around money, power, communication, sex, parenting and faith.
We will be meeting at St. John’s Lutheran Church Wednesday nights from September 8, 2010 through October 13, 2010. We will share a simple meal from 5:30 to 6:00pm with classes running from 6:00 to 7:30 pm.


GROUPS FOR ALL AGES AND STAGES OF LIFE

Our community has ministries for all ages.

YOUTH: G.R.O.W

CONFIRMATION CLASS ANNOUNCEMENT

The chilled air in the morning has reminded us that fall is rapidly nearing. The leaves begin to change, the once bustling neighborhood pools close for winter. Some walking, some bussing, some learning to start driving and steering...while parents in passenger seats from here to there start hoping, praying and fearing. This time brings with it a fresh start for many students, new friends, old friends...sharing, laughing and cheering. Confirmation Class at St. John's will be starting soon! 3:30- 6 Wednesday afternoons in the Youth Room, 6,7 and 8th graders, new lessons they'll be hearing. Fellowship, games, skits, music.....food and drink....7up, Sprite, juice, milk...ice cream and Rootbeering. Look for more info here in Connections, in Thursday Folders in school and feel free to call Kyia anytime at extension 117...or stop by his office. Enjoy the cool air, brisk evening walks and patio sunsets while you can. Give Fall a hug my friends...because as we all know...the icy kiss of winter is just around the corner.
