The first of four marriage classes that Karis will be teaching over the next four months will meet at 7:00 p.m. at 606 Ridgeway Avenue on January 13. Taught by Karis elders, it will last four sessions, once a month. Both engaged and married couples may attend. Couples desiring to be married by Karis elders must attend these classes and will have additional counseling sessions with a Karis Elder and his wife. Here’s the class schedule:

• January 13 — Marriage that Displays the Gospel: Covenantal Framework, Problem of Divorce (Aarik Danielsen)
• February 10 — Different by Design for the Gospel: Biblical Roles, Gender Differences (Matthew Ballou)
• March 10 — Applying the Gospel through Communication & Conflict (Kevin Larson)
• April 14 — Applying the Gospel in Money & Sex (Ryan Worley)

Remember, if you’re getting married at Karis, you must attend all four classes so mark your calendars now. Anyone interested in joining the marriage class should contact Brooke Danielsen on The City or at brookedanielsen@gmail.com to get signed up and get the syllabus with reading assignments.
