A great Ministry for a couple.

 

 

We need to recruit more Marriage Ministry Couples for the Unitas Marriage Ministry Couples

 

In this day and age of divorce this is a very important ministry.

 

One of the great advantages of this ministry is that a couple can do this together and your own marriage will benefit from being involved in this marriage program.

 

The qualities the couple need;

They do not have to be saints or be perfect.

The main qualities are faith and being a practicing Catholics

and having a relatively successful marriage

and are willing to share from their hearts.

They may be married five years or more.

And it is best if they are not involved in too many other things.

 

The program needs;

The presenting couples give a talk, share from their hearts their faith and experience of their marriage. They give the talk and facilitate the session five times a year following the principles of the manual and couples book.

 

The table couples work with from 2-3 couples at a table facilitating discussions and sharing from their hearts their faith and experience of marriage for all seven sessions. They provide continuity for the program with the engaged couples.

 

Training:

We ask them to read the manual annd watch the training videos.

We ask them to attend and participate in the seven sessions of the Unitas Program.

And their experience of the program will be processed.

 

Programs will be beginning July 10, August 28 and October 16. 2008
