Dinner for Two, Marriage Encounter and Marriage Jubilee Dinner for Two Ingredients: Couples that are interested in providing a marriage enrichment evening for other couples in their parish. A willing pastor to advise planning committee and one who puts a priority on the vocation of marriage. Begin forming a committee of interested couples – 3 to 4 would be great. Talk about the Dinner for Two concept or call the Family Life Office for assistance. Plan (where, when, how): Talk about goals for the dinner, example: Several parishes have used this dinner as a beginning to forming a “Family Life” committee in the parish. One parish is using this as a kick off for a “sponsor couple” program for marriage preparation. Cook for several week in “North County” weather, pray a lot, and serve to willing participants. After dinner be prepared to be asked: To schedule a Dinner for Two in your parish contact the Family Life Office by calling 315-393-2920 or email: gfrank@dioogdensburg.org.
Married Couples: Are your dreams for your life still visible? Or are they buried somewhere in the laundry basket full of busy jobs, kids' activities, tiredness, bills, and no time? Would you like to pull them out and give them new life? That can happen on a Marriage Encounter Weekend. The next Worldwide Marriage Encounter in this area is April 13-15 in Stowe, Vt. To register or for more information, please call Dave & Jennie Erkson @ 1-800-434-4218 or via e-mail at erksonmevt@adelphia.net or check out www.wwme.org.
