Couples Weekend Retreat 2008

 
 
 
 
 
The Matrix of Building Deeper Intimacy
 
Don Smith
 

Dear Couple,

We are looking forward to this year’s Couples Getaway at the beautiful Shack resort.

This year we will be exploring The Matrix of Building Deeper Intimacy in our relationships. 

What if intimacy is more of a journey that we experience together than things that we do for each other?  During our time together we want to take a new look at Genesis 2:24.

Is it possible to face the struggles and difficulties in our lives and marriage that will draw us to a deeper level of trust and openness, rather than fear and self-protection?

You will find this year’s getaway new and refreshing in your journey of intimacy.  Marriage is not so much what we do, as it is who we are.

Because He is Faithful,

 
Don E. Smith
President of Bridge To Life Ministries
 
 
 
What to Expect
 

The weekend begins Friday evening with dinner, followed by the first session to begin the theme for the weekend.  Saturday morning starts with two short practical sessions on our theme.  The afternoon is free time to relax or to take advantage of a number of activities in the area.  Saturday evening we have a bonfire where we have a time of sharing, singing and a short lecture.  Sunday morning we meet outside overlooking the lake, where we have a worship service and share communion together.

 
     
 
 
     
  Cost  
     
 

Limited to the cost of your room at the Shack. Bridge To Life does not charge a fee for the weekend conference, but we will take a love offering for the ministry on Sunday.
