Family Month Events

March 30 Couple’s Date Night	There is no better way to kick-off Family Emphasis than to be able to go out on a date with your spouse (or significant other). For those that might need it, there is FREE child care available at the church from 5:00 – 7:00 PM courtesy of our Single Mom’s ministry.
April 6 Movie Night	Beginning at 5:00 PM we will be showing the Disney movie The Game Plan. This is a great family friendly movie that everyone in your family will love. Our youth ministry will be providing a concession stand as a fundraiser for their Dare2Share conference.
April 13 Family Skate Night	This is one of the yearly favorites. We will once again be renting out the entire Rollhaven Skating Rink from 5:30 – 7:30 PM. This year we will be using the Skateland located on Saginaw Street in Grand Blanc. Admission is $2.00 per person and skate rentals are $3.00 per person (if you are not skating there is no cost).
April 20 Why Marriages Succeed and Fail	Pastor Randy will be providing a marriage assessment for you and your spouse to take during Family Emphasis. On this night, he will be providing explanation on how to evaluate your assessment. This may prove to be the most valuable event this year. The concepts reviewed this night are from the book, Why Marriages Succeed and Fail by John Gottman.
April 27 Bowling Night	Spring will be in the air, but bowling is a great year-round event. This event is for the entire family. We will have lanes available for the kids (with and without the guard rails), and we will have lanes available for the adults (with and without the guard rails). Times and prices will be announced at a later date.
May 4 Family Cook-Out	Immediately following our morning services we will be cooking out, family style, in the back part of our property. We will officially open our sand volleyball pit as well as horse shoes and several other great yard games.
May 9-10 2^nd Annual Couple’s Retreat	We will once again be retuning to the Amish community in northern Indiana known as Shipshewana and staying at the Farmstead Inn. Dr. Ed Johnson will be our guest speaker and he will be both challenging and encouraging. Whether you are a newlywed or have been married for several years, this is a retreat that needs to be made a priority. Cost is $120 plus dinner on Friday night. A $50 deposit is due by April 20.
May 11 Mother’s Day	Make sure to bring your mom with you on this special day as we honor our mothers the best we can. All moms will receive a special gift simply for being in attendance.
May 18 Movie Outing	The newest edition of the Chronicles of Narnia series opens this weekend. Prince Caspian should be another great movie reminding us of the importance of our faith. Times will be announced once the theater lets us know.
