Immerse Institute Semester One 2008 Subject List

THE MARRIAGE COURSE
Do you want to gain more skills to help you grow together and deepen your intimacy with your husband/wife?
The marriage course is a new and exciting course developed by the Church who brought us Alpha. It is based on Christian Principles but is suitable for non-church goers. This course if for anyone who is married, whatever stage they are at. No sharing with the group, lots of time to talk to each other and it is fun.
BBC is running the 8 week course starting
Tuesday 29th July.
Cost is $50 per couple.
To register or for an invitation to give to your friends, contact Lil or Andrew Johnson 6251 8921.

ARE YOU A GOOD STEWARD?
Being called to be good stewards of our resources, having the means and ability to save on paper should be something we can take to heart. So why not start today by saying NO to paper, and by simply e-mailing office@belconnenbaptist.org.au to register your interest in receiving the bulletin via e-mail each week - IN COLOUR as well!
