November 2004 Married Couples Retreat Report
Once again God did marvelous things at another retreat! Ten couples gathered at the North Glade Inn Bed and Breakfast and had a remarkable time! As usual, hearts were open to God’s presence and much healing and restoration began that weekend and continue on by the grace of God. We look
forward to the next retreat!

Inspirational Thoughts:
In Matthew 22:37-39 Jesus said “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. 38 This is the greatest and the most important commandment. 39 The second most important commandment is like it: “Love your neighbor as you love yourself.”

This holiday season may we all
consider our neighbors by reaching out to them in love and continue loving them every day of the week. Remember, Jesus commands us to love all (no exceptions)!

End-of-Year Giving
It is hard to believe that we are about to enter a new year. The Lord did marvelous things for CFMR in 2004 and we have high expectations for 2005. Please prayerfully consider sending this ministry an end-of-year love offering. Any gift would be appreciated to get us off to a great start for the new year! God Bless You!
