Learn to Love Better At Epworth UMC
In the movie Fireproof, Lt. Caleb Holt will brave a burning building to
rescue a stranger, but is he about to leave his marriage, and his wife,
without even a fight? As the marriage crumbles, Caleb’s father sends him a
book with a challenge: the Love Dare.
Join us during the 11:00 am Sunday School hour as we take that same challenge-to love first, to love better and
to love for a lifetime. We’re looking to build enduring, red-hot marriages.
The Love Dare begins November 14th.
