We enjoyed spending the last few days with these lovely couples who are preparing for their upcoming marriages. They invested a weekend to attend our "Pre-Marriage Bootcamp" which is an intensive, jam-packed weekend of biblical teaching and pre-marital counseling.

Our hope is to make each couple feel welcome, comfortable, and well cared for - stepping away from the pressures and distractions of their busy schedules and able to focus on hearing what God's Word says about marriage. This photo was taken by our "server", Beth Anne, before we devoured a delicious and romantic Italian meal. Some gracious and generous friends allow us to use their lovely lake home as our venue. We try to add a few little touches that transform their marvelous home into a romantic five star get-away. Gourmet meals, fresh linens, chocolates on the pillow and a picnic "basket" filled with tasty treats are among some of the ways we seek to make this weekend, a weekend to remember.
