Mystery of Marriage. Wednesday evening 6:00 p.m. - Sunday 2:00 p.m. Sounds long. Too long- too long for the kids, too long away from work, too long for a retreat. BUT. If you're looking for more than just a marriage retreat, if you want to hear some really good teaching, if you want to "go deeper" with God, grow closer to your spouse, and if you want to find out what "church" really is- you may want to consider attending our next "Mystery of Marriage" in May 2015.
Last week we had such a wonderful time as a group. Sharing, laughing & crying together. We learned to "turn to Jesus" early in the morning before we were even fully awake. We shared communion together and were reminded that we were not to examine ourselves to see if we were worthy to take communion of our own righteousness but rather dressed in His robe of righteousness. Hallelujah!!
Every couple shared a piece of their story, their life journey- because we ALL have a story. Our lives have been shaped by that story, the good, the bad- all of it really. So we give couples the opportunity to share their story, and to say what's on their hearts. If they have something they want to work through, we pray with them. We try to be sensitive to the working of the Holy Spirit at all of our retreats, so while we have a schedule, we are also flexible.
A few highlights of the week were- the one couple renewed their wedding vows, the formal dinner on Friday night, the one couple felt a powerful move of the Spirit while praying together in their room the one afternoon, the good laughs (especially about the one couple's honeymoon trip to Alaska), and so much more.
Without sharing too much personal info about the people's lives that were here, I wanted to give you a glimpse of the exciting things God is doing. We have another one of these retreats schedule for May of 2015. Please let us know if you or someone you know is interested in attending.
