Marriage Enrichment Retreat

November 19, 2009 by

On November 15th-17th, 15 couples from St. Giles went on a marriage retreat together in the mountains. For most of us, it was a true time away with the Lord, each other and from the distractions of life. The highlight of the weekend was our last session together, where we took Communion with our spouses and received individual prayer. It was as if God had been waiting for this one intimate moment to reveal his heart for us. In the end, we left refreshed, enriched, encouraged, hopeful and more deeply in love with God and one another. Thanks so much to our church body who prayed for us. May we all see the fruit of this retreat in St Giles in the days to come.

I have included one testimony from a couple who attended the retreat.

“We wanted to send out a BIG thank you to our new church family for the generosity and blessing of our scholarship to the marriage conference. We don’t often get to go to things like this due to the expense. It was a time of learning, remembering, refreshing and fun all rolled into one. Thank you to Steve and Jane whom I know spent many hours praying over and preparing for this weekend. It was well spent. Thank you for all of your effort and prayers in preparation. Much love, John & Lisa Pepper.”
