The Marriage You Always Wanted

Workshop

Starts Friday, February 13, 2026

Maybe your marriage is in a great place and you want to keep investing. Maybe it’s been a tough season and you’re ready for a step forward. Or maybe you just want to build better habits before problems grow. Wherever you are, you’re welcome here.

We hope you’ll join us—and feel free to invite another couple, too.

If you’ve been married for more than a minute, you already know this: marriage is wonderful… and marriage is work. 😊
And sometimes it’s not the big dramatic moments that wear us down—it’s the ordinary stuff. The hurried conversations. The unmet expectations. The “I thought you knew…” moments. The season where you look up and realize, we’re living in the same house, but we’re not really connecting like we used to. 

This is a 5-session class, but You can come to any 1 session, or all of them
If you can’t make all five, don’t let that stop you—come when you can. Even one night could be a fresh start or a helpful reset.

This will be a relaxed, welcoming environment—no pressure, no awkward spotlight moments—just a chance to grow, laugh a little, learn, and strengthen what God has given you.

Age group: Adults

Time:  6:30 - 8:00pm

Food?  Yes, there will heavy apps and drinks!

CHILDCARE:  Babies - 5th; pizza dinner; K5-5th will watch a movie.

Location:  FPLC

Love Languages For Parents

Workshop

Friday, March 6, 2026

New Date! We spend a lot of time trying to do the right things for our kids—provide, protect, encourage, correct.  But sometimes what we give isn’t what they’re actually hearing. That’s where Love Languages comes in! f you’ve ever thought:

> Why doesn’t this connect with my child?  > I want to be more intentional as a parent, not just reactive. > I’m trying so hard—why does it still feel like we’re missing each other? This night is for you!

On FRIDAY evening, January 23, we’re hosting a relaxed, meaningful gathering designed to help parents better understand how their children receive love—and how small adjustments can make a big difference in connection, discipline, and everyday moments at home.

To signup, click the button below, or you can go to Fellowship Hall and sign up in-person.

Age group: Adults

Times:  6:30 - 8:30pm

Cost:  Free / Freewill offering
