Winter 2009 Newsletter

Dear Friends,

It seems that the Holiday season comes faster and faster every year.  We never seem to be quite ready for it.  Our schedules become so fast and furious that we can easily forget why we are celebrating.  We find ourselves entering a new year with new opportunities, new challenges and new resolutions.  What we can be sure of is that no matter what obstacles come our way in this New Year, God promises to be right there with us.  Philippians 4:13 promises that we can do everything through Christ who gives us strength!  

If you missed the 2009 Weekend Marriage Retreat, you missed a great weekend.  Ed and Sharon Rotz brought us practical Biblical insights to improve our marriages and our relationships with Jesus Christ.  The 2010 Retreat is scheduled for October 1-3, 2010, with guest speakers Dr. Tom and Kathy Kinnan.  They bring a unique style and insight – you will not want to miss this year!  Look for more information in your mailbox and online soon.

The First Annual Forever Yours Ministries Sweetheart Banquet will be held Saturday, February 20th, in Springfield, Missouri at Hemmingway’s (inside Bass Pro Shop). The cost is $50 per couple, and will include your meal and entertainment. This year’s event will feature a silent auction with many great items to bid on.  

Space is very limited, so register today!  You can register using the enclosed registration form or online through the Forever Yours website (www.foreveryoursministries.com) and via our Facebook group.  If you would like promotional materials for your church or small group, please contact us or visit the resources section of our website.

We’re anticipating the great things God will do in our families this year.  May you find the peace that God gives to us freely and the love He so desperately wants us to experience.  We look forward to seeing you in Springfield in just a few weeks!
