Southern Hills Marriage Conference

This weekend marks our first effort at hosting the Southern Hills Marriage Conference. Divorce and dysfunction are rampant in our area. This is exacerbated by Army life, especially during wartime. Soldiers return different men and women to different families. We hope God will use our small church to make Christ precious to our community. We pray it will be an annual tradition to serve our community in Jesus' name.

We would ask that you pray for the conference, which will be held this Friday & Saturday (Jan 5-6). Pastor Rick Larson (Sierra Bible Church, Sonora, CA) will teach through Ephesians 5.22-33 in six-sessions. Please encourage anyone you know in Central Texas who would benefit from this opportunity to contact us.

To help you pray more specifically, we've provided the following guide for our church:

• Pray for Rick Larson and his preparation
  
• Pray that our preparation be excellent, efficient and God-centered
• Pray that God send many unbelievers to the conference and that they will hear and respond to our Bridegroom, the Lord Jesus Christ
• Pray that God will strengthen marriages at SHBC so that we attractively illustrate the gospel in Copperas Cove
  
• Pray that God use the conference to set SHBC on a course of reducing divorce and dysfunction in Copperas Cove

God be praised for using fools for his glory.
