Beginning Sept. 12 Calvary Spokane will be offering a seven-week series on marriage, led by author and pastor Ken Ortiz.
The series, called “Marriage The Way It's Made To Be” will examine God's design for marriage.
“Marriage is difficult,” the website reads, “If you're married you know this is true.”
It will be Thursday's at 7 p.m. at the church. Each night at 6 p.m., so couples can spend time together, a dinner will be served and childcare will be provided.
