The final week of our dating series Facebook Official is all about starting over new.

But some people have messed up in the past. They’ve had poor relationships or gone too far physically, so what do they do now? We’re going to talk about how you can start healthy relationships now no matter what your past.

Next Week: Facebook Official Wk. 4, Refresh
Things definitely get complicated in Week 3 of our Facebook Official series as we discuss God’s plans and intentions for sex. It seems that every song, movie, magazine, book and celebrity have an opinion on sex and too often the church is silent! This week is not about bashing sex or making it evil, but God does have a specific design for it and that design is between two people within the constrains of marriage. Sex is a wonderful gift from God to His people, but it can be seriously tarnished and abused when not used the way God created it to be used.
Join us this week to talk about how abstaining from sex in relationships now benefits your marriage later!
Listen to Ryne very quickly teach on dating relationships in Facebook Official: Relationship Status.

That’s all you need to know really….be there tonight!
For the second week of our Facebook Official dating series we’re going to practically talk about biblical guidelines for dating. In fact this week YOU get to decide what we talk about. All students are going to be encouraged to write down a few questions they want answered about dating and they’ll be answered by our panel of relationships “experts.”
We believe that though the Bible doesn’t directly talk about dating that it does give us principles that we should be applying to our dating relationships.
Come find out what God expects of your dating relationships!
