Together at Dawson

For a lot of couples, marriage is extremely hard work. This is true, not because our spouse can be so difficult, but because we are all broken people. In this one-day seminar we will learn practical ways to improve our communication, resolve conflict, all-the-while maximizing our joy and His glory. The first session will be from 9:45-10:45 a.m. in the Chapel. Two additional sessions will take place that afternoon. Please come with questions as there will be opportunities to ask them as a part of each session. Registration is requested, but not required except for childcare. For childcare for ages birth through fifth grade, please visit dawsonchurch.org/marriage.
