Valentine's Dinner & Fireproof Movie

We had a fabulous time on Friday evening celebrating love and God's design of marriage. Nearly 230 of us shared a great meal together, laughed with some interesting romance trivia and were challenged with the message of the movie Fireproof. We were reminded that regardless of where our marriages are at - terrible, great or somewhere in between - that there is hope... hope that our marriages could be even better. Marriages don't just grow on their own (quite the opposite) - they take effort and self-sacrifice. Many people left the evening with a copy of the 40 day Love Dare book and a fresh committment to make their marriage all that God designed it to be.

Our prayer as a church will be that all of us who were motivated to make a greater investment into our marriages would be able to carry through on that desire and that we would begin the 40 day love dare - or some other intentional process of showing "I love you" in a more direct and systematic way!

If you haven't watched the movie, Fireproof, you can borrow it from our library or pick it up at your local Red Box or video store. (It's in the top 5 of current movie sales nationwide!) If you would like a copy of the 40 day Love Dare book, you can pick one up here at church or your local bookstore.

Another great step would be to join one of our marriage related Equipping-U courses that begin tomorrow (Sunday) evening. We have three great studies that will help jumpstart your committment to make change - and you can start this weekend! Why put it off one day longer?!!?
