H.I.M. is once again offering two marriage conferences.  Richard Dahlstrom, senior pastor of Bethany Community Church in Seattle, Washington, will be our guest speaker next weekend at the lovely Radisson Hotel in Nashua, and Paul and Virginia Friesen will speak in April at the popular Eagle Mountain House in Jackson, New Hampshire.  Danny and Rayna Oertli will be the worship leaders at both conferences.  Plan now to attend and gain your marriage a "high octane" rating.  Online registration is available for either conference.

Last minute registration special: for $50 off the full conference price, type the special code "snowman" into the coupon box when you register online for the Nashua marriage conference . . .

If you live within commuting distance of the Nashua Radisson, you may attend at the low price of $160 without staying overnight in the hotel.  This price covers all conference meals and sessions.  Just choose the "Commuting from home" option in the accommodations box when you register online.

Those who have heard Danny before need no encouragement to attend.  They know what a treasure he is of great truth, great music, and great family entertainment!  Click on his photo above to see a Youtube video of him performing.  We'd love to have you join us for this free concert, with refreshments afterwards.  If you are able to RSVP, it would be helpful so that we can get an accurate count and be certain to have enough food--send a quick email to Barbara Becker or call her at 978-749-8041.  A free will offering will be taken.
