Great Dates - A Ministry for Married Couples

REGISTER

Menlo Park Campus, Fellowship Hall

When was the last time you and your spouse went on a "real" date?  We believe that marriage is one of God's greatest gifts, and successful marriages require quality time together--without the kids!  Each Great Date opens by introducing a specific marriage-related topic, sends you out to dialogue over dinner or a walk, and concludes with dessert and group reflection. Childcare is offered by advance reservation.

Dave and Mary Campbell will present "Principles of a Growing Marriage" at our next date on June 15, 2013. Register Now!
