Whether your marriage needs to be reignited, or be completely resurrected,<strong> Re|Engage<\/strong> is a safe place for couples to reconnect. This ministry offers hope to marriages by helping couples move toward oneness through stories of grace, teaching, and small groups. <strong>Re|Engage<\/strong> is a marriage enrichment program; whether couples are struggling to get along, have broken relationships, or simply want to grow closer together, marriages in any condition can benefit.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><strong>Who is Re|Engage for?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.watermarkresources.com\/ministries\/reengage\/leader-resources\/completing-reengage-before-facilitating\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Re|Engage<\/a>&nbsp;is for marriages, between one man and one woman, in any and all conditions. Every marriage will benefit, whether couples are struggling to get along, the marriage seems broken, or they simply want to grow closer together relationally. This class is reserved for couples who are both committed to the process. Previously married couples who are separated or divorced, but might consider reconciling, are also welcome to attend Re|engage. Re|engage is not intended for seriously dating, engaged, or cohabitating un-married couples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether your marriage needs to be reignited or completely resurrected, Re|Engage is a safe place for you and your spouse to reconnect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What is Merge?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Merge is a premarital discipleship ministry designed for engaged and seriously dating couples. It&#8217;s a chance to seek wisdom and receive counsel about marriage in a safe, fun, and authentic environment.\nMerge addresses common questions and challenges from a biblical perspective. Class dynamics include: large group teaching, small group discussion with mentors, and weekly homework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each session consists of a combination of large group teaching on topics such as communication, money, and intimacy, followed by small group discussion. A few times in the class we split into men and women for gender-specific teaching and conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><strong>Date: <\/strong>Sundays beginning 1\/26\/25<\/p>\n<p><strong>Time: <\/strong>6pm-8pm<\/p>\n<p><strong>Location: <\/strong>The Heights Fellowship Worship Center<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cost: <\/strong>$30<\/p>\n<p><strong>Contact: <\/strong><a href=\"mailto:reengage@theheightsfellowship.org\">reengage@theheightsfellowship.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Register: (Childcare will not be available, however, childcare reimbursement is available):<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theheightsfellowship.org\/reengage-childcare-reimbursement-form\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here to fill out the reimbursement form<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Register:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/1UNrabGXgILRUJ3CQNZSKqrbW3yzwFcISzhkrJko3McU\/viewform?ts=676e2ae9&amp;edit_requested=true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here to register<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"passage-display\"><span class=\"passage-display-bcv\">Ephesians 5:21-33<\/span><span class=\"passage-display-version\">\u00a0(NIV)<\/span><\/h4>\n<h5><span id=\"en-NIV-29326\" class=\"text Eph-5-21\">Instructions for Christian Households<\/span><\/h5>\n<p><span class=\"text Eph-5-21\"><sup class=\"versenum\">21\u00a0<\/sup>Submit to one another\u00a0out of reverence for Christ.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"en-NIV-29327\" class=\"text Eph-5-22\"><sup class=\"versenum\">22\u00a0<\/sup>Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands\u00a0as you do to the Lord.<\/span><span id=\"en-NIV-29328\" class=\"text Eph-5-23\"><sup class=\"versenum\">23\u00a0<\/sup>For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church,\u00a0his body, of which he is the Savior.<\/span>\u00a0<span id=\"en-NIV-29329\" class=\"text Eph-5-24\"><sup class=\"versenum\">24\u00a0<\/sup>Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands\u00a0in everything.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"en-NIV-29330\" class=\"text Eph-5-25\"><sup class=\"versenum\">25\u00a0<\/sup>Husbands, love your wives,\u00a0just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her<\/span>\u00a0<span id=\"en-NIV-29331\" class=\"text Eph-5-26\"><sup class=\"versenum\">26\u00a0<\/sup>to make her holy,\u00a0cleansing<sup class=\"footnote\" style=\"font-size: 0.625em; line-height: 22px; vertical-align: top;\">[<a title=\"See footnote a\" href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Ephesians+5%3A21-33&amp;version=NIV#fen-NIV-29331a\">a<\/a>]<\/sup>\u00a0her by the washing with water through the word,<\/span>\u00a0<span id=\"en-NIV-29332\" class=\"text Eph-5-27\"><sup class=\"versenum\">27\u00a0<\/sup>and to present her to himself\u00a0as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.<\/span>\u00a0<span id=\"en-NIV-29333\" class=\"text Eph-5-28\"><sup class=\"versenum\">28\u00a0<\/sup>In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies.
