THE POWER OF UNITY
August 6 & 7

  

There is a promise from God when you and your spouse create unity in your marriage. It’s not easy, but with small choices every day, you can establish harmony in your relationship and receive the promised blessing from God.

 

  
  

  

"How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity… For there the Lord bestows his blessing"

Psalm 133:1-3
