MARRIAGE
The Art of Home:
A Workshop for Couples & Parents
Building a strong home doesn't happen by accident—it takes intention, wisdom, and the right tools.
On Saturday, May 16, Branches Church and Northstar Church are coming together for The Art of Home, a half-day workshop designed to invest in your most important relationships.
Here's how it works: You'll choose three sessions from a lineup of nine, covering topics like finances, child nutrition, parenting in partnership with the Holy Spirit, the "one another" verses and your marriage, and more. Every session is taught by a speaker with real expertise—not generic advice, but practical wisdom you can put to work.
There's also a dedicated prayer room available throughout the morning for couples seeking prayer or conversation.
Doors open at 8:00 AM for a continental breakfast and child checkin. Sessions kick off at 8:30. We wrap up by 12:30 PM—so you'll still have your Saturday afternoon. Childcare is provided for kids through 6th grade at no extra cost.
