FEBRUARY & APRIL: Romance Restoration Larry & Kate Watkins During "Communication & Cuddling" we will discover that specific differences in men and women can be used by God to create one unique flesh in marriage. "Romance & Raisin Cakes" will investigate creative ways to reinstate romance into our daily lives. The final session, "Holy Hierarchy", will help us reevaluate our priorities in both our relationship with Christ and our relationship with our spouse. The Watkins are founders of Deep Waters Christian Counseling, a nonprofit counseling ministry in Franklin, TN. Larry, an ordained pastor, holds an MS in counseling and is a board certified Christian counselor. Kate, a children's author and home schooling mother, holds a Master of Divinity. Together, the Watkins offer Christian seminars focusing on marriage and family issues. Their combination of Truth, training, and testimony creates an atmosphere of laughter and sincerity. NOVEMBER: Lord of the Rings Bruce & Marlina Martin Speaking from personal experience, Bruce & Marlina connect with couples as they discuss the pathway to intimacy despite conflict. "The Return of the King" session starts the weekend by reminding us the true "Lord of the Rings" is Jesus Christ as King of our marriage. "The Two Towers" session on Saturday reveals what the enemy uses to divide and conquer marriages and what scripture reveals as the two pillars that uphold a marriage. And, the power and joy of commitment is discussed in "The Fellowship of the Ring" session. Bruce serves as a teaching pastor at Cove Church in Hampton Cove, AL and is an inspirational speaker for leadership seminars, marriage conferences, men's retreats, as well as high school and college groups. In 1995, he planted RocketCity Community Church (now Crosspoint) with a team of 3 pastors. Crosspoint is a growing ministry with more than 700 attenders in Madison, AL. In 1998, God led the leadership team to birth a second church from RocketCity with it's own team of pastors called The Church at Hampton Cove. They partnered with First Baptist Church Huntsville to do this plant. This plant has since grown into a thriving local church that has planted two additional churches. NOVEMBER WORSHIP LEADERS Steve & Krista Colvin Steve is a worship leader serving at Cove Church in Hampton Cove, AL, and he is a full-time systems engineer in Huntsville, AL. His wife, Krista, is the Communications Director for Cove Church.
