The Five Love Languages

A Self Discovery Opportunity
6 Session Book Study
Beginning January 24, 2018
7 PM at Peace Church – Barrett

Join Marilyn Leraas and Roger Knapp
for discussion of The Five Love
Languages... a book and concept first
defined by Dr. Gary Chapman. Partici-
pants will learn about themselves and 5
easy ways to more effectively
communicate the compassion, caring,
and importance that they feel for their
loved-ones.
Chapman says about his book: “In this
world we’re surrounded by more people
than ever – yet we often still feel alone.
Being single or married has nothing to
do with whether you need to feel loved!
Everyone has a God-given yearning for
complete and unconditional love in the
context of all relationships. If you
want to give and receive love most
effectively, you've got to learn to
speak the right love language.
Different people with different
personalities express love in different
ways, in fact; there are five very
specific languages of love: Words of
Affirmation, Gifts, Acts of Service,
Quality Time, and Physical Touch.”
Not Wanting to read a book but
interested in the conversation – sign
up to come anyway – enjoy the
discussion!
To Join in the Discussion:
Call Sandy (320-528-2536 or Sarah
(320-808-8772) to signup by January
8th. Books will be ordered (one per
household) for a cost of $10 to $12, no
other costs for the class.
The first 3 gatherings for the Book
Study will be January 24th & 31st and
Feb 7th, the last three gatherings dates
will be discussed and set by the
participants. The first gathering will be
held at Peace Lutheran in Barrett and
rotated between West Moe and Peace
for future book study dates.
