The "Weekend to Remember" event was held February 13th, 14th and 15th at the Founders Inn in Virginia Beach. Hosted by Family Life, the three day event is held each year in various spots around the USA. Marcus and I highly recommend this ministry to married and engaged couples. We first heard about this event a few years ago when our friends Peggy and Willie attended (they returned again this year..see picture)! One of the highlights for us was attending with our very own Chairman Deacon Ellis and his wife June. We hope that more couples will join us next year for this very special time of renewal and rejuvenation.
The session were geared towards the real concerns and pressures associated with marriage, but also highlighted ways that healthy marriages can remain healthy. The speakers were excellent and the time set aside to attend this event was well spent. On Saturday evening (which just happened to fall on Valentines Day) the couples were dismissed early and asked to spend the evening with their spouse on a "Date Night".
Sunday at the end of the conference each couple was asked to reconfirm their commitment to each other.
