“Strong Marriages and Strong Families” by Daryl Denham


“Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.”This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church. However, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.  Ephesians 5:31-33

My new friend, Trey Morgan, a preacher in the Lord’s church in Texas tweeted the other day, “Why should every church be actively involved in building healthy marriages and families? Because healthy marriages make healthy families, and those healthy families make:

Healthy choices

Healthy schools

Healthy communities

Healthy states and a

Healthy nation and world.”

Can I get an Amen?  Perhaps the greatest plague on, the greatest threat to, American society is the breakdown of the traditional family.  Our theme at Summit for 2022 is Our Family.  We will focus on the family of God, our responsibilities and our relationships, as well as our earthly families, and those responsibilities and relationships.

On April 30th, we are scheduled to host a Parenting and Family workshop with Adam and Leah Faughn.  Tentatively scheduled to be morning to mid-afternoon.  We hope to have a schedule and promotional materials available in the next few days. If you are married, or plan to be married at some point, with children or without children, we hope you will make plans to attend.

Trey Morgan, and his wife Lea, are scheduled to be at Summit in 2024 to host their Stronger Marriages workshop.  You can follow them on social media: Facebook at StrongerMarriageWorkshops, Instagram Stronger_Marriages, and Twitter at StrongMarriage5.  They are a great follow for any married couple or anyone in a relationship.

We think one of the most important things we can do is encourage and support stronger relationships in marriages and families.  We pray that you will support all of the efforts and please let us know what else we can do to make an even greater impact on our families.
