Prepared to Love: What to Expect

This Saturday, March 5th, we'll host our first-ever pre-marital group workshop. We hope all engaged couples, soon-to-be engaged couples, and all those interested in learning more about marriage will attend. We'll meet from 9am to 12pm in room 303 at Grace Covenant. If you're interested in coming, please RSVP to Val Catrow (val@citychurchrva.com).
