FBCHS Marriage Seminar

Marriage is the most rewarding and yet also the most challenging relationship in your life. Isn’t it worth doing all in your power to help your marriage grow or to lay a solid foundation for a marriage yet to be?

You need to plan to attend the “I Promise” seminar coming to our church on Friday March 12th and 13th. Our very own Missions Pastor, Dr. Keith Travis, as well as his associate, Steve Dyess, both are nationally certified in PREP (Prevention and Relationship Enhancement Program). Keith and Steve will be leading this event utilizing this challenging and insightful curriculum. I strongly encourage you to do all you can in order to attend. I also challenge you to bring your lost and unchurched friends as we are praying God use this “bridge event” as an incredible outreach tool to the community.

Tickets for the seminar are $40.00 per couple. The cost includes a steak dinner Friday night, all lessons and materials, breakfast on Saturday morning, as well as childcare. Sign up for yourself and if possible, invest in someone else’s life and/ or marriage by purchasing a ticket for them as well.

You can sign up for this event in one of two ways: by going to the church website www.fbchollysprings.com or by signing up after services on Sunday mornings at the connection table. Please be sure and register as soon as possible so that we can have an accurate count of all involved.

A guy named Bob receives a free ticket to the Superbowl from his company. Unfortunately, when Bob arrives at the stadium he realizes the seat is in the last row in the corner of the stadium - he is closer t the Goodyear blimp than the field. About halfway through the first quarter, Bob notices an empty seat 10 rows off the field right on the fifty yard line. He decides to take a chance and makes his way through the stadium and around the security guards to the empty seat. As he sits down he asks the gentleman sitting next to him, "Excuse me, is anyone sitting here?" The man says no. Now very excited to be in such a great seat for the game, Bob inquires again of the man next to him, "This is incredible! Who in the their right mind would have a seat like this at the Superbowl and not use it?" The man replies, "well, actually, the seat belongs to my wife, but she passed away. This is the first Superbowl we haven't been to together since we got married in 1967. ""Well that;'s really sad," says Bob, "but still, couldn't you find someone to take the seat? A relative or a close friend?" "No" replies the man"they're all at the funeral. Taken from The Christian Weekly
