Christian Formation Seminar on Marriage
Marriage: Biblical and Psychological Approaches to Commitment, Growth and Intimacy
SUN, MAY 7, 14 & 21 | 9:45 AM & 5:30 PM | Granary Room
This three-week seminar is for those who are married or interested in the marriage relationship, but all are welcome. We will consider the challenge of commitment in our current cultural context, how growing spiritually manifests within marriage, and the joys and difficulties of intimacy. Led by Dr. Raymond Kam.
An Informal Conversation About Reaching Our Youth for Jesus
SUN, MAY 7 | 9:45 AM | Common Room
Nearly two-thirds of 18–29 year-olds who grew up in church have withdrawn from church involvement (Barna). Do you know this all-too familiar story of a young person who grew up in a loving, Christian family, went to a Bible-centered church (perhaps Park Street Church), and consistently attended Sunday school or youth group? After graduating high school or college, he or she no longer attends church regularly or no longer believes. Does your heart long to reach the youth of our church or your own children for Christ? Please join us for an informal meeting to pray and brainstorm about how as a community, we can reach our youth for Jesus. Parents, grandparents, singles, couples, and youth (recommended age 16 and older) are welcome. We need everyone to be part of the solution!
Questions? Contact Leslie Liu.
