Stronger Together: Marriage Enrichment

led by Pastor Charles Raasch

LOCATION: Fireside Chapel
LENGTH: 7 sessions
DAY/TIME: Sundays from 9:20-10:15am
DATES*: March 22nd, 29th, April 12th, 19th, May 3rd, 10th, 17th

Whether you’re engaged, newlyweds, or matrimonial veterans, digging into God’s Word as a couple is critical to building a strong marriage. Stronger Together provides you specific prayers you can pray together, as well as Scripture passages and discussion questions that can enhance your devotion time together. This resource shows you why fulfilling marriages involve two people who . . .
- have decided that yielding to Christ is strength.
- bathe in God’s grace for their own sins and then extend that same forgiveness to their spouse.
- enjoy being served by Christ and find joy in serving each other.

Each participant/couple will receive a copy of the booklet Stronger Together: 30 Days to a More Godly Marriage published by Time of Grace Ministry. Each of the six sessions below will cover one of the devotional days, and couples are encouraged to share the other devotions together at home.

*Please note: there will be no Bible Study on Sunday, 04/05 (Easter) and Sunday, 04/26 (Congregation Open Forum)

Prayer is an act of worship in which believers talk to God from their hearts. When it comes to our communication skills, most people admit there’s always room for improvement. So, how is your prayer life going? How can I “chat” with God even more? This prayer Bible study presents what Scripture teaches about this important gift from God. We will examine our conversations with the Lord, and explore ways to grow in our communication connection with him.

Meets once a month on the 2nd Saturday at 8:00am in the Fireside Chapel at Morning Star beginning September 13th. We encourage all who are ages 13 and up to join us. The men will be studying Paul’s “prison epistles” or “captivity letters” to the Philippians, Colossians, and Philemon. While imprisoned in Rome, waiting to hear of his appeal to the emperor, probably a period of two years from A.D 61 to 63, he wrote four letters. Join us as we study what the Lord’s inspired “ambassador in chains” wrote. Contact Bill Truebenbach at billtruebenbach26@gmail.com with any questions.
