Save the date: Saturday and Sunday, July 20 and 21, 2024, Getting the Love You Want workshop for all couples at Bethel!

This workshop not only answers the questions you may have but more importantly gives you the insight and tools you need to restore or enhance the love, commitment, and passion needed to create a life-giving relationship.
Caroline and Jason Bernhardt-Lanier, married 30 years, are experienced workshop presenters engaging diverse couples worldwide.
