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

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.
