Friday–Sunday, March 4–6, married couples are invited to gather at the Westin Portland Harborview (Portland, Maine), with couples from Northern New England for a weekend of inspiring and practical lessons, great fellowship, and time to focus specifically on connecting as spouses. John and Arlene Markowski will invite us into the very real, ridiculous, and sometimes heart-wrenching aspects of their twenty-year love story. We look forward to our own self-discovery, refreshing marital tools, and inspiration with “This Is Us.”.

Northwest parents of teens and teens are invited to our first NW teen family luncheon. The event will be held right after church today, February 20, in the cafeteria at Butler.

This will be a time for teen parents to fellowship, be encouraged, and be inspired.  As you know, it takes a village to raise children, and we are grateful to take this journey together. We strongly encourage all parents of teens to join us. Siblings of teens are also welcome to join us for lunch and hang out in the gym.
