Connecting Couples is excited to host the 10 Great Dates series! This is a fun, practical marriage experience designed to help couples reconnect, strengthen communication, and enjoy intentional time together. Each “date” focuses on meaningful conversation, laughter, and growing closer — without it feeling like work. We’re hosting a virtual information meeting on Thursday, March 19th, 7 PM, to share all the details and answer your questions. This opportunity is open to both church members and the community, and it will be led by Ken and Vernita Griffith. If you’re ready to invest in your marriage in a way that’s fun and enriching, sign up in the copier room. We’d love to see you there!
