Top 5 Reasons to Attend the Happy Home Conference this Sept...
Investment
What's the return on your investment for Happy Home? We believe that you will see fruit of a radically improved parenting approach and the bolstering of your marriage bond. Let's be honest - - we all expend significant time and resources for entertainment in our lives...imagine the powerful impact of a strategic and worshipful weekend devoted to developing our families in a Biblical way.
Challenge: Set aside the cost of one football game, concert, or day trip - clear your schedule and join us on Sept 28-30 for the Happy Home Conference.
Preparation
One of the complexities of family life is that we consistently encounter new seasons and unforeseen challenges. There is always a new stage or dynamic ahead. One reason to attend the Happy Home Conference is PREPARATION. How great it would be to get Biblical Counsel up front, in advance so that you are equipped to endure life's curve balls. Learn about caring for an infant before your first child is born. Develop skills in dealing with teens while your children are in diapers. Get orientation on caring for aging loved ones before that day arrives. This conference will feature keynote speakers and specialized breakouts that will provide opportunities to expand your confidence and knowledge base.
This means that his conference is for ANYONE! Singles, Young Married, Engaged or those married for 40+years, you can come and prepare for what's next!
Challenge: Imitate the ant - prepare during THIS season for the seasons to come (Proverbs 6:6-8)
Team Building
Husbands and wives must cooperatively partner together to build new families, remain connected to families of origin, and impact their communities for Christ. When was the last time you and your partner spent serious time in team building? The Happy Home Conference will provide a time to learn and interact together. Laugh together, compare notes, and ponder insights. Through quality time together and relevant, scriptural teaching - you and your wife will emerge as strong partners.
Challenge: Plan to attend as an enrichment date, let your spouse know that you value them and desire to dedicate this weekend to appreciating one another while pursuing wisdom and godliness in your life.
Connection
The Happy Home conference will be a time of connection, for families to interact with other families. Find others on similar paths, or who are further down the path you are on. Enjoy real fellowship before, during, and after each session. Speak with the keynote presenters and inquire during breakout sessions. Consider inviting your parents or adult children, the new couple down the street, or your cousin across town/out of town. Make new friends and identify resources and role models. Share the experiences that the Lord has given you. Each person who attends will be enriched and have the opportunity to connect with Christ and his local church.
Challenge: Seize the opportunity to connect the important families in your life with this powerful weekend!

What's better when you bring a friend?
Just like most thinkgs in life church is better when you don't do it alone!
It's better when you bring a friend. And that's exactly what we @ Second are doing on Saturday, Jan. 28 and Sunday, Jan. 29 – we're calling it Double Day! We'd like to double our attendance in Bible study and worship by asking each person to invite and bring with them a family, friend or neighbor who needs a church home. And with the New Year and all the great things happening in the Second Family, from the new "Countercultural Happiness" sermon series, to women's events, to weekday Bible studies, plus student and children's programming, it's a great time to introduce people to the life of this church.
Found people find people!
Already a part of what's happening @ Second? Invite someone to join you in Bible Study THIS weekend!
Don't have a church home / need to reconnect? Join us this weekend! http://www.second.org/North/Adults/Singles.aspx
