God’s Power at 2011 GARBC Conference

God has the power to move mountains. The backdrop to Denver is the perfect illustration of the power, might, and wonder of the God we serve. The God Who can move mountains is the same God Who can move our hearts to action! The local church has enormous potential to multiply. Discipling believers and evangelizing the unsaved are essential in seeing local churches increase in strength and multiply. Join us in Denver—engage in practical workshops and absorb the preaching of God’s Word in the general sessions. You’ll be ready to return to your church to use the tools you’ve learned. Your church can grow! As believers and as churches, we are destined to multiply. Register now for the 2011 GARBC Conference!

Keeping Fun in Marriage Webinar

How long has it been since the word “fun” came to mind when thinking about your marriage?  Kids, financial pressures, work responsibilities, sickness, and household chores zap your energy and  can put a damper on the joy that you once experienced with your marriage partner. On March 24, 1:30 p.m., John and Daria Greening will give practical tips based on the book of Philippians on reinserting the fun back into your marriage. Husbands and wives are invited to take part! Register now for the marriage webinar.
