THIS WEEK’S MESSAGE

Our special guest, Dr. Dick Foth, continued the How series with a message titled How to Build Healthy Relationships. He used a baseball diamond as a template to describe four components of a strong relationship. Starting at first base and going around the diamond, the components included history giving, affirmation, covenant and dreaming. If you weren’t able to attend a service this weekend, be sure to check out the podcast or webcast. What a great resource for those of us leading small groups and ministries as we strive to build meaningful relationships with people!

Next week, we look forward to a new series titled Love U that will be brought to us by Pastor Mark. The message will be live on Saturday at 5pm at Ebenezers and on Sunday at 9am at Union Station and 10:30am at Ballston. The 6:30pm Saturday service at Ebenezers, the 10:00am Sunday service at Georgetown and the 10:15am and 11:30am Sunday services at Union Station will have a video message.
