The 5 Love Languages

Wednesdays, March 7, 14 & 21

6-7pm

Fireside Room

Facilitators: Pastor Jon Claude & Barbara Mahr

With over 30 years as a marriage counselor, Dr. Chapman noticed a pattern: everyone he had ever counseled had a “love language,” a primary way of expressing and interpreting love.
Of the countless ways we can show love to one another, five key categories, or five love languages, proved to be universal and comprehensive—everyone has a love language, and we all identify primarily with one of the five love languages: Words of Affirmation, Quality Time, Receiving Gifts, Acts of Service, and Physical Touch.
The 5 Love Languages^® has helped countless couples identify practical and powerful ways to express love, simply by using the appropriate love language.
The three classes will include 1) an introduction, 2) a description of the 5 love languages, and 3) identifying your (and your partner’s) primary love language.
Childcare available!

Sensory Integration

Sundays, March 18 and 25

10:15am

Fireside Room

Facilitator: Laura Flood

First class: What is this sensory talk all about? What is sensory processing, sensory integration, sensory defensiveness and how does it affect our outlook on the world around us.
Second class: Look at strategies to help our kids (and ourselves!) see the world as a positive place to be, and to look at ourselves and honoring the sensory being we are in our modes of work, play and leisure, worship and spiritual styles, and relationships.
