FREE Blessing Marriage Series (6 week program) You want something in marriage. So did the patriarch Jacob. Like all of us, he was on a search for the best life possible, a life marked by “blessing”. Come join us for a six week marriage study entitled “The Blessing”. We will have a good time examining Jacob’s life (one so easily to relate to) and what his journey teaches us about our search for a blessed life. Each week you will be led through one story in Jacob’s crazy life. We will apply it to marriage and have assignments to discuss at home. | Palmer Trice |
