Hi Friends,

You're invited to join us as a group of community leaders as we meet around a discussion that looks into how we could be thinking more strategically about addressing the issue of relationship breakdown that plagues our nation. The team at FamilyLife are busy developing a framework for church leaders to apply in the context of their congregation to ensure that relationship breakdown is caught even before it occurs.

Come and meet with us to:

• Discuss the framework with 9 key relationship strategies every church leader needs to have in place to make sure relationships don’t fall through the cracks.
• Learn how developing a Marriage Champion and Marriage Mentoring strategy can be key to empowering leaders in your community to help shoulder the load.
• Discover some of the resources, tools, and events available for you to incorporate into your own comprehensive strategy for marriage ministry.

When: Wednesday 3 August, 10.30am-12pm (Morning Tea from 10am)

Where: The River Christian Church, 69 Ben Lomond Crescent, Pakuranga, Auckland 2010

Cost: FREE (Sponsored)

* Morning tea will be provided so please register for catering purposes, by Sunday 31 July.

We all know that healthy families are the bedrock of a healthy society. Unfortunately, building successful relationships is not easy and we are not taught the basic skills of doing this in school. When the foundations of healthy relationships aren’t laid early, people suffer a lot of heartbreak, conflict, and anxiety in their relationships and many even end up separated or divorced.

Our events, workshops, and resources equip and inspire couples to build the type of marriage that will last a lifetime. When people upskill themselves in the area of relationship, they fulfil one of the deepest longings of the human heart - to know and to be known. They can live a confident life and achieve far more than they ever thought possible.

FamilyLife exists because if people develop relationship skills, their relationships flourish. For the past 30 years FamilyLife NZ have been equipping couples through their events, resources, and training material. Over 24,000 New Zealanders have attended a FamilyLife NZ event already, but that’s only a drop in the bucket compared to the 1.7 Million families in our beautiful country.

We hope to see you there.

Grace + Peace,

Wynand Jacobs & The FamilyLife NZ team
