The Family Life Department is excited to announce the beginning of a new program in 2013. When was the last time you laughed as a family? How close is your family? How do you deal with adult children? How can we get our families’ prayer life healthier? These are some of the challenges our families face today. So, every 2nd Sabbath of the month, we will have an event after church potluck focusing on a chosen topic. This will be in the church. We will be using materials and DVD’s from experts like Mike Tucker and Mark Gungor to highlight ways to enjoy and improve our family lives. Invite your family and friends to join us! If you have any questions, please contact Ben Nwadike 706-508-2475.
