Marriage Conference

Consider attending ‘The Art of Marriage’ on Feb 3rd & 4th.  This is a Family Life conference, sponsored by Island Baptist.  Online registration is easy at https://islandbaptistchurch.webconnex.com/art_of_marriage.  Cost is $50/couple (lunch included), and the event runs from 7-9:30pm on Friday and 9am-4pm on Saturday.

The Art of Marriage consists of six video sessions and an accompanying manual that provides couples with projects to help apply the principles taught during each session. The Art of Marriage brings together some of the most respected and influential pastors and experts on marriage and family all in one setting. It also brings a fresh approach to a video event by weaving together some of the following elements to help couples fully experience God’s design for marriage:

    • engaging stories
    • real-life testimonies
    • man-on-the-street interviews
    • humorous vignettes

Sunday School

Consider attending our new six week series ‘The Hole in Our Gospel’  Sundays at 10 am in the Worship Center led by Chris Maier & Pastor Mitch.  This class is for high school, college and adults.

Courageous Movie –Postponed

What happened to the plan for the Oct 23? It’s a victim of it’s own suc- cess. Courageous has been so popular and done so well in the theaters where it has played that no one wants to give up their copy and it’s ex- pensive to make additional prints, so we have to wait until the Stanwood theatre can get a copy. Watch the bulletin for further updates.

Men’s Breakfast – October 15

Join us from 8:00 – 9:30am for fellowship with other guys over a delicious, manly meal.  No cost to attend, but an offering will be taken for food.  All men and their sons are welcome.  Our brother and deacon Ray Warlick will be sharing his testimony.
