This months date is called – “Dater’s Choice”

The two of you have two options for deciding part of your date.

· option 1 – each of you find a item in your home to take to the pawn shop and sell. Use that money for your date – the one that sold the item for the most money decides where to go and what to do

· option 2 – go to goodwill and pick 3 items for your spouse to wear on the date

We hope you have fun deciding which option to choose and then have fun on your date. I can’t wait to see the pictures. While on your date Read Ephesians 5: 22 – 33 together and discuss the passage.

Also remember to read these Love is statements together:

* Love is being more committed to unity and understanding than to whining, accusing or being right.

* Love is making a daily commitment to admit your sin, weakness and failure and to resist the temptation to offer an excuse or to shift blame.

* Love is being willing, when confronted by another, to examine your heart rather than rising to your defense or shifting the focus.

January

Hey guys, Happy New Year! I can not believe it is 2024. This is our last date for this event. We also have our last Paul Tripp event. I am going to provide the link for this event for you to watch at home. I will have to figure out how we will all meet in February and where but I will work on that. The January date is called Rocky, Paper, Scissors. In this date, you and your spouse will play rock paper scissors. Play the game and winner gets to decide first activity to do. After you finish the first activity together, play again and winner decides 2nd activity. Then when that activity is done you play one final time and the winner decides the last activity to do together. These Activities can be anything. Have fun with it. Be creative, and enjoy. I will try to forward the Paul Tripp link that I received from Kyle. Have a great time Kim.

December

Hey guys, Oh my, please forgive me for being sooo late with this date. It has been a very busy time for me and I totally forgot to post this date for December. I am so sorry. Well, It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas. This can be a stressful time for some, a difficult time for some, and/or it can be a wonderful time for some. I hope we all Find JOY this Christmas season as we celebrate Christ’s birth. As the church body, We are the bride of Christ. For this date, you and your spouse do something together that celebrates the wonders of this season. It can be anything that brings you both joy. Have a wonderful date and a Merry Christmas Kim

November

This month’s date we are calling “Friendsgiving”. It has become a popular event for the month of November over the past few years. We want you to get together with a few couples from GCT ( they don’t have to be doing 12 great dates necessarily but we do want it to be members/visitors of our congregation) either at your house, their house or even a restaurant and eat together and play games together. Enjoy each others company and fellowship together and let’s be thankful we have oneness in Christ.
