Couples Retreat:
October 3-5, 2008
Theme: "A
Marriage That Lasts for Life"
If you grew up
in the seventies like us, you may remember
these words to a popular song:
“Life, so they say, is but a game and we
let it slip away. Love, like the Autumn sun,
should be dyin' but it's only just begun.”
Life can be a game, but building a marriage
that lasts for life requires cooperation,
not competition. It’s about winning
together. Come put the fun back in your
marriage at this year’s Couples Retreat. You
will be challenged to get your “game on” by
speakers, musicians, and staff who love the
Lord. We promise to cater to your every
need, so you can play all you want.

Speaker:
Craig & Beth Jarvis
Craig
Jarvis serves as the Senior Pastor
of Memorial Baptist Church just
outside Madison, Wisconsin. He and
his wife Beth have been blessed with
four beautiful daughters: Abigail,
Hannah, Karis and Rebekah.
Originally from Nova Scotia, Canada,
Craig has worked as adjunct
professor at Cornerstone University,
spoken at various conferences and
retreats, served as a youth pastor
for almost 10 years, but still
thinks his most exciting challenge
has been raising his 4 girls for the
last 8 years. Craig exhibits a
lively and engaging speaking style
and an ability to tailor his
teaching to suit the audience's
needs. His enthusiasm and humor,
coupled with a passion to
communicate biblical truth, will be
effective.
Music:
Robbie & Denise Grimes
This
husband and wife team has performed
many genres of music in the past,
but for them nothing compares to
sharing God's love and faithfulness
through song. Responding to God's
call, Robbie and Denise formed
Higher Ground in 1997. God began
showing Robbie and Denise how to
merge their desire to sing for Him
with their commitment to family.
This couple believes others need to
hear that God loves their families
too. Their desire is that the
audience leaves with and
understanding of the gifts of
salvation Jesus Christ has to offer
and a renewed feeling of joy, peace,
and commitment to Him and to their
own families. Striving to do God's
will and singing for His glory,
together the Grimes are reaching for
a Higher Ground. |
