MESSAGE SERIES: RPM - RELATIONSHIPS | PASSION | MARRIAGE

Society has its notion of what makes dating, relationships and marriage thrive. But a quick look under the hood reveals a longing to get back on the right track. It is only the octane that God provides that gets us out of the rut and back on the road toward relational success. So in our upcoming series, RPM, we will learn how a relationship fueled by God is a relationship that experiences the ultimate thrill ride. Whether your marriage has redlined, your relational tank is running on fumes, or your dating life has hit cruise control, this series promises to reenergize your drive and refuel your passion to follow God’s track.

Continues through September 1st/2nd

SERVINGOPPORTUNITIES

weeks 2-7all groups meet in host homes to discuss the topic from the previous weekend celebrations

step 1 attend weekend celebrations

step 2 be a part of a group

The weekend message is the foundation of teaching – an essential part of the journey that will help you understand and participate in your group experience. Don’t skip it.

Growth groups center the journey. They’re set up to be a fun, safe and informal place for you to grow with others. So now’s not the time to bury your head. Make sure you’re in a group.

NOTE: Your growth group “host” is simply a fellow learner who is willing to organize your group. Hosts aren’t expected to be Bible experts or to carry every conversation. While your host can be a contact for finding more information, the responsibility for learning and discussion in your group lies with everyone. So be nice. Pipe in. Bring the cookies.Your Host
