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 aand 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
