New library DVDs and books 2
Friday: 7:00 pm–9:00 pm Saturday: 9:00 am–3:30 pm Join Dan Allender as he speaks of God’s design for marriage through the matrix of Genesis 2:24 (weave, leave, and cleave). He’ll consider the categories of communication, dreams and demands, family ties, forgiveness, male and female uniqueness, and sex—all on a journey toward deeper intimacy and the mystery inherent in the relationship designed, above all else, to reveal God’s character and purpose. This event is highly applicable to those single, engaged, married, divorced, or widowed, and those who desire a deeper faith and deeper relationships with others and God.

“Fear not because your prayer is stammering, your words feeble, and your language poor. Jesus can understand you. Just as a mother understands the first lispings of her infant, so does the blessed Saviour understand sinners. He can read a sigh, and see a meaning in a groan.” —J. C. Ryle
