ONE -- a marriage event


Friday Evening, March 16th -- This unique approach to a marriage conference begins with the Friday evening Dinner Theatre. Tim and Debbie furnish a dramatic, musical comedy and multimedia presentation depicting their journey through 36 years of marriage.  This unique blend of teaching, technology, and drama will have everyone laughing and crying.  But most of all it will show what can happen when a husband and wife become ONE in Christ. 
Saturday, March 17th – Breakfast is served and Sessions 1 and 2 will follow before lunch.  Lunch is served and session 3 closes out the conference.  The teaching approach Tim and Debbie use could best be described as tag team.  If time permits there will be a candid question/answer session.
The conference ends with a commitment ceremony reinforcing “ONENESS” in marriage. Each couple will receive a memento of the ceremony.  Couples will also receive a “ONE” MARRIAGE CONFERENCE workbook.
Shocco Springs Baptist Conference Center
Talladega, Alabama

Just a few minutes from Talladega, Alabama, lies 783 acres of land. It is a place of refuge from today’s society; a quiet, peaceful place for learning more about God and training to serve Him, while surrounded by His creation.

Shocco Springs Baptist Conference Center has been a gathering place for Christians from around the world for more than 60 years. Walking through the campus, guests are captivated by the wonder of nature at Shocco Springs. “This is such an awesome retreat. I felt so close to the Lord surrounded by His creation,” commented Joyce Higuchi, a guest from Wailuku, Hawaii, about her visit at Shocco. “This is just a small taste of what it will be like in our Heavenly home with Him,” said Lahoma Stumbaugh, a guest from Prattville, Alabama. Hoyt Wilson from Birmingham, Alabama, was impressed by the clean-kept grounds and facilities and commented, “The grounds were so clean and beautiful. They said, ‘Welcome…God’s spirit lives here.’”

 Beautiful hotel style rooms in a beautiful setting make Shocco Springs a perfect place for a marriage retreat!


God Loves Us!! He rejoices over us!!

Last Friday when I was sitting with my grandson, Cash, God let me get a glimpse of how HE feels about me. I was pretending to chase Cash around the room and he was running from me -- all of the sudden he just stopped in his tracks and ran toward me and put his arms up in the air so I could pick him up! Needless to say - my heart melted.  Just think, God's heart melts when I "stop dead in my tracks" and throw up my arms!  He rejoices over me!  And you!!

"The Lord your God is in your midst, a victorious warior. he will exult over you with joy, He will be quiet in His love, He will rejoice over you with shouts of joy." Zephaniah 3:17
