MARRIAGE PREPARATION

Couples spend two months to two years planning the perfect wedding but many do not prepare for their lifetime together after the ceremony is over. All engaged and seriously dating couples are encouraged to participate in our two part Preparing for Marriage Workshop, a series of six classes followed by a mentoring experience (a total of 24 hours over several months) to lay the solid foundation necessary for a lifelong commitment and a lifetime of love.

 Dates for the 2008 Preparing for Marriage Workshops are:

Winter: February 17 – March 30, Sundays from 4:00-6:00PM at Black Rock
Fall: September 18 – October 23, Thursdays (time & place TBD)
