Marriage Workshop At Reservoir

BETTER TOGETHER: HOT CAKES AND
HOT TOPICS FOR COUPLES
In designing this workshop we’ve had
couples with young children in mind, but we
think couples in all stages of marriage will
find something helpful from our day together.
It starts with a home-cooked pancake
breakfast, includes a catered lunch, and a
companion program for up to 30 children
on-site. Couples get to spend some time with
their partners remembering why they fell in
love, listen in on a panel discussion about
the joys and challenges of sex throughout
various stages of marriage, and participate in
breakout sessions on topics like navigating
family and career, interracial couples, and
the theology of parenting.
We’ll end with time for some contemplative
worship and prayer. Cost: $40/couple, plus
childcare costs ($25/child with a $50 family
cap).

questions. To register, go to:

Seek LITE
2017-03-05 13:00 - 15:30 | MA
Our 10-week Seek course has been an enormously helpful and popular experience for hundreds of people looking to explore faith. This year, we’re trying an abbreviated teaser version of Seek for busy people or folks that aren’t sure if they’re ready yet for a 10-week commitment. In Seek LITE, we’ll discuss what healthy and unhealthy faith might look like, some of the distinct benefits and questions that Jesus-centered faith raises, and what life-giving spiritual practice might look like in the 21st century. All our versions of Seek welcome the stories, perspective, questions, and opinions of all participants. This is a story and experience based conversation, not a curriculum to persuade you of any elements of faith you don’t want in your life. Seek LITE is perfect for people exploring faith for the first time or looking for a new faith that makes sense to them. People of all religious backgrounds, and no religious background at all, are welcome.

Seek LITE will meet from 1-3:30 on three consecutive Sundays, March 5, 12, and 19. A free and – we hope – delicious lunch will be included. Given the conversation-based nature of this experience, please plan on attending all three sessions, unless of course, you aren’t happy with the experience, in which case you’re welcome to move on.
