In Appreciation to … Dear Brothers and Sisters at Centerville:

The boxes of goodies for the missionaries are in

the mail. I had to replace the boxes on the table

with bigger boxes because the response was so

good! The workday the ladies had to sew

“pillowcase dresses” to send with Ron Coleman

to India in January was also a success: 22+

longer dresses and 8 smaller dresses – 5 beyond

our goal! Thank you for your help and

encouragement. In Christ, BETH WOOLLEY

I appreciate you all so much. The flowers I

received after surgery were beautiful. Thank you

for the meals, phone calls and cards sent to me,

and especially for the many prayers. Ronny and

I have been blessed in so many ways and we

thank you fro all your love and kindness. In

Christ, CARLA BUCHANAN

We want each and every one of you to know we

love you. I give all the praise to our Lord for

leading us to such a caring congregation. In

Cristian Love, JOHNNIE & CHERYL

BROWN.

Something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue! Instituted by God in times of old and reflected in Christ’s love of the new covenant, a Christian marriage is one of the most beautiful things we have here on earth. Join us as we borrow from God’s word and one another to help strengthen the commitments that make up this beautiful union, result-ing in joy for those days that are bright and strength for those that are blue.

“There is certainly no country in the world where the tie of marriage is more respected

than in America or where con-jugal happiness is more highly

or worthily appreciated…” Alexis de Tocqueville (1805-

1859) Much has changed since this French Statesman toured America. News headlines tell us a much different story of the decline and destruction of the family. This seminar is in-tended to help equip families to cope with today’s critical spiritual challenges facing our homes.

Please join us for this time of edification and strength-ening as we explore the signs and responses to dan-gers facing the home.
