Ehe Seminar

On Saturday, May 16th, we had a Marriage Seminar here at CC Herborn. We were hoping that we would have been back in the building by this weekend, but we were not. So we had to do the event in our temporary building. But to be honest, I don't think it really mattered what building we were in, the Lord desired to work in the hearts of the people and that is what mattered most!What a blessing it was! we had around 30 couples come to the event. We had Pastor David Ball our from CC Kaiserslautern (K-town) come out and teach the three sessions. The first session was "The Spirit-filled Wife." The second session was "The Spirit-filled Husband." And the third session was "The Spirit-filled Marriage." It was amazing as we began the day and Pastor Edmund was welcoming everyone to the event, how he shared that they planned on doing this event last year and have Pastor David out, but had to cancel it because we were not in our building. But now, this year we did this event and what perfect timing it was as we have been studying through the book of 1 Corinthians and have been teaching on the role of the Holy Spirit and the Gifts of the Holy Spirit. So to have Pastor David come and teach on the Spirit-filled Marriage was perfect timing! ONLY THE LORD CAN DO ALL OF THIS!
We were blessed to have a few of the youth watch our girls so that Rebecca, Noah, and I were able to go to the Seminar. Thank you Vicky and Carol! Each of the teachings were a blessing and the fellowship was sweet! In fact, during the coffee and cake time, each table had a list of questions to discuss during this time. It was a great time to talk about our marriages openly and listen to everyone share their thoughts on the specific questions.
At the very end of the event, Pastor Edmund had each of the couple stand up and face one another. He then instructed us to take off our wedding wrings and to renew our vows! That was awesome! To look into the eyes of my beautiful wife and tell her once again that I love her and am commited to her!
