April 2009
Marriage, Family and Singles Conference
On April 3-4, 2009, the ORC hosted a conference on marriage, family, and singleness that was rooted in our relationship with God. This conference was for people who want more than typical extended how-to sessions, with the "Thus saith the Lord" opinions of the speaker.
Attendees were encouraged in their earthly relationships by understanding how they are properly rooted in your relationship with God.
