Please take a couple invites and look for ways to hand them out this week.

3. Last October, we had a special family conference with Dr. Dave Teis and those messages can still be found on our YouTube channel. THIS YEAR, we have scheduled another mini conference that is taking place at the end of April — Monday, April 24th and Tuesday, April 25th, and we have a special guest speaker, Pastor Cary Schmidt, whose going to be speaking to us biblically on the topic of emotional health. We want to introduce you to him through a short video…..VIDEO….

We plan to give away 2 books, 1 each night of the conference. We also plan to host a meal before the conference each night. When you register, please mark if you plan to come to the meals as well.
