MARRIED COUPLES WEEKENDS
Friday-Sunday, November 14-15, 2008
Friday-Sunday, February 13-15, 2009

An elegant, quiet, relaxing atmosphere to
UNWIND, RELAX, AND FOCUS ON EACH OTHER!

Feb Weekend Sessions
Speakers Larry & Kate Watkins (Deep Waters Christian Counseling)
Join us for some romance restoration! During "Communication & Cuddling" we will discover that specific differences in men and women can be used by God to create one unique flesh in marriage. The "Holy Hierarchy" session will help us reevaluate our priorities in both our relationship with Christ and our relationship with our spouse. The final session, "Romance & Raisin Cakes," will investigate creative ways to reinstate romance into our daily lives.

"We had such a wonderful time. It was relaxing to the both of us and we were able to concentrate on 'us.' ... Sometimes we let the world take over our lives and we do not take the time for each other. This retreat showed us and reminded us that we must not forget to do that."

Registration & Room Check-in is from 4-6 p.m. with Dinner at 6:30 p.m.
The weekend ends at 11 a.m. on Sunday.
