The New Beginnings SDA church sponsored its second annual Marriage
Connections retreat held this year at the Embassy Suites conference room
April 3-5. The guest presenters were Pastor Buford ("Buddy") and Carmen
Griffith, Directors of the Family Life Department of the Southwestern
Union in Texas. Both having Master's degrees in counseling, this is their
second consecutive year as presenters for the Marriage Connections
weekend retreat. Twenty-five couples attended from a good cross section
of a variety of geographical locations (Indiana, Ohio, Michigan) and a
variety of cultures and a variety of religious backgrounds. The program
concluded Sunday at 11:00 a.m. with a re-marriage commitment service.
The attached picture is of the couples who attended the
conference as well as the presenters.
We invite those who attended the conference to blog their
experience.
We are eagerly looking forward to another Marriage Connections
next year and invite you to check back at this website periodically for
more information as it becomes available. If you wish to inquire about
Marriage Connections via phone, you can give your contact information to
the web-master or call 517.896-7842, and one of our host couples will get
back in touch with you.
