Sign up today for an invigorating Marriage Enrichment Retreat February 28 - March 1 at FPC! Whether you’re with a longtime partner, newly married, or on the precipice of a new romance, you’ll consider how to enjoy the blessings of love while also navigating the inevitable challenges that accompany any abiding relationship.
Jeannie DuBose, MS, and Rev. Keith Grogg, D.Min. will lead us through engaging Scripture, reflection exercises, and observations from their respective marriages. Come prepared to learn and laugh together, illuminated by the eternal truth: love’s journey is not just about the blaze in the beginning but about finding ways to ignite the flame again and again.
