Marriages
today are under severe attack, and we must do everything
that we can to make certain that the enemy does not
destroy the sanctity of marriage set forth in the Word
of God. We do that in various ways through workshops,
prayer, literature, honoring anniversaries, and
fellowship events such as breakfasts, summer picnics and
holiday meals.
This ministry is dedicated to providing a Christian
venue for fellowship, encouragement and spiritual
enrichment to the married couples of Livingway Church.
“Husbands,
love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church,
and gave himself for it;” Ephesians 5:25
Participation in any of our scheduled activities is
certainly voluntary, but strongly encouraged. Our
events are typically scheduled every two months on
either a Friday or a Saturday, depending on the time and
length of the activity.
“Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let
the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.” Ephesians
5:24
C.C.C. is designed specifically for couples in which
either the husband and/or the wife is age 36 and older.
If one of you is younger than 36 and the other is older,
you have the option of choosing which married couples
ministry you would like to join. (The
Married Couples Ministry for couples age 35 and younger
is called Young Married Couples Alive! or Y.M.C.A.)
The activities and functions that are planned for this
group are chosen with the more mature couple in mind.
Then, once a year, the two Married Couples Ministries
come together for the annual seminar and banquet.
If
you desire to be an active participant in our events,
watch for the announcements that will give you all of
the particular information and ask you to sign up at the
Information Desk in the Front Lobby.
If you wish to be included in the
planning and/or hosting of activities, we encourage you
to contact the directors of the ministry for more
information. You can do that by calling the Church
Office and leaving your name and phone number for them.
We admonish you not to allow the world to dictate what a
real marriage is. The only authority on that subject is
the One who created man and wife and who instituted
marriage originally … God Himself! This ministry will
help you to fight back as a couple against the enemy and
celebrate anniversary after anniversary of God’s
goodness and keeping power!
