Marriage Ministry Potluck | June 28
Our Marriage Ministry meets on the last Sunday of every month at 6:00 PM, and we would love for you to join us!
This is a wonderful opportunity to connect with other couples, strengthen your marriage, and grow together in your walk with the Lord. We are currently studying through the book of Ruth and enjoying meaningful discussion through breakout groups each month.
This month will be a potluck, so please bring a dish, side, dessert, or drink to share if you're able. And if you can't bring anything, don't let that stop you—come hungry and enjoy the fellowship! There is always plenty of food, and we'd love to have you with us.
A friendly reminder: Children's Ministry is available during our meeting time. Please check your children in through KidCheck before dropping them off in class.
This gathering is open to all married and engaged couples. If you've never attended before, that's okay—we'd love to welcome you!
