A NEW SERIES OF TALKS ON MARRIAGE
When you say “I do” to someone you promise a lot of things. Most of the time we get those promises mixed up. This month will challenge those who are married and those looking for marriage to see beyond themselves and recognize the lasting promises that make marriage last. Join us live online every Sunday in February at 8:45am, 10am, or 11:30am. Can’t make it live? We’ll have the on-demand version available on Sunday afternoons right here.
Together for Good is a marriage workshop that was created by FamilyLife Canada.

Couples learn how to strengthen the foundation of their relationship in the important areas of communication, conflict, sex and spirituality.
