The first topics are expectations in marriage, communication skills, time for each other.
The programme will run fortnightly for three Monday nights Monday 7th March, Monday 21st March, Monday 4th April, Venue; Good Shepherd Parish Centre, Castlegar Sports Complex, Roscam Time; 8pm to 9.30 pm. Who is this for? For all couples who want to get the most out of their marriage whatever age or stage they are in. We look forward to meeting you.
Marriage is a journey, not a destination
SEEING YOUR LIFE THROUGH THE LENS OF THE GOSPELS
Matthew 6 24-34This passage has many beautiful images and encouraging words. Red it slowly and let the words and images speak to you.
We all worry, and possibly spend a lot of energy on needless worry. Often the things we worry about things that will never happen. Behind much worry lies a lack of trust in ourselves, in others and in God. What has helped you to develop the kind of trust that helps you to avoid excessive worrying?
One of the situations that can cause anxiety is when we have divided loyalties. ‘No one can be the slave of two masters.’ A clear set of priorities can help us avoid this dilemma. What has helped you to be clear in your own mind on where your priorities lie?
‘Set your hearts on God’s kingdom first.‘ Your faith will not take away the problems but knowing that God is with you no matter what can make a difference. What is your experience of this?
