FamilyFire: FamilyFire on Lake Michigan, August 2008!

FamilyFire on Lake Michigan, August 2008!

Join us this summer on the beautiful dunes of Lake Michigan for Marriage Enrichment week at the Christian Reformed Conference Grounds.

This lovely retreat center in Grand Haven Michigan will be a relaxing way to enjoy the outdoors and some light-hearted conversation about what it means to be married and how we can actually live our lives together, decade after decade.

We'll begin with worship time on Sunday morning and afternoon and continue with Adult Bible Study Tuesday-Friday mornings. There will be plenty of guided activities and Bible Study time for the kids (not to mention the pool and the Big Lake). So come away for awhile and find refreshment for the whole family!

It all begins Sunday, August 3!

FamilyFire Booklist

Douglas J. Brouwer: Beyond "I Do": What Christians Believe About Marriage
This is one of the best books about what a marriage is. It's really a theology of marriage rather than a "how to" manual, but it's perspective provides ample context for why the How-To stuff works.
