Class for Married Couples or Engaged Couples Sundays afternoons (starting September 11)
|
|
In the fall, we plan to once again offer a marriage strengthening class called CPREP (or Christian PREP). Approximately 50 couples have participated in the first four series and post-course evaluations have been very positive. This 12-week course is based on Christian principles as well as solid research and has proven to be effective in increasing the happiness of marriages as well as preventing divorce. We at Bethany are committed to helping couples maintain and strengthen this most important, God-given relationship. This course will be offered again, starting on Sunday, September 11 from 4:15-5:30PM in Fellowship Hall. It will be open to and applicable to married or engaged couples. If you have any questions or would like to register, please contact Mark Boerger.
