Couples Fellowship

Brian and I, being a young couple, saw the need for our church to start up a young couples' fellowship. There has been a number of new young couples attending our church and we had a burden to help them connect. So, last month we started it up, and we were so blessed to have 6 couples out. We enjoyed an Italian dinner together, had a formal time of introduction, chatted, laughed and threw around topics and books to study. We couldn't have been more excited after that evening: seeing couples connecting and seeing everyone's enthusiam for the group.

This past week, we decided on the book we'll study: Each for the Other, by Bryan and Kathy Chapell. I remember reading this book in my Family class at Covenant College, but honestly that was before I was married and I don't remember much of the details. Most of the other couples are familiar with the book or have read portions. And, this book is great because it has study quesitons for each chapter in the back of the book. That's perfect for rotating leadership of our studies.

Our prayer for this group of couples: that our love for our Savior will deepen, that true godly leaders would be sprouted here, that we would learn what it means to sacrificially love our spouse, that our friendships and community would grow, and that God would lead each of us where He wants us to be serving.
