APRIL 18th-19th — Bethany Lutheran Church, Cherry Hills Village, CO LUTHERAN MARRIAGE ENCOUNTER What is a Lutheran Marriage Encounter weekend? Marriage Encounter is a weekend experience designed to help married couples communicate more intimately with one another in order to deepen and enrich their relationship. The weekend is orderly, informative and structured. In a comfortable environment away from home, family and responsibilities, couples are given the opportunity to look into their relationship with each other and with God. The weekend helps couples reassess what these relationships could be as they journey together on a way of life that can be better than anything they have experienced before. More than a weekend away, it’s a weekend of discovery together! The Lutheran Marriage Encounter weekends planned for the Denver metro area are: April 25-27 and October 17-19, 2008. The weekend starts at 7 pm on Friday night and is complete by 6 pm on Sunday. The entire weekend is conducted within a hotel in the Denver metro area. Applications are needed at least one month before the start of the weekend, to guarantee hotel reservations. Lutheran Marriage Encounter has updated their weekends — and is now also offering an online application process at www.GodLovesMarriage.org.
