Yup. We'll show you how!
Getting my emcee on!
Congratulations to Christ’s Commission Fellowship (CCF) – CDO for another successful round of wonderful events that enhance marriage and family. You guys did it again.CCF just finished two rounds of the excellent The Story Of Us couples retreats, held at the beautiful Mt. Pines Place and Saddle Ridge Camp, the events very quickly selling out both times.
I emceed both events (held in Nov. 5-6 and Dec. 3-4, 2011 respectively), with my wife and I being small group leaders for the 2nd go round. Even before the 2nd retreat, a huge waiting list already formed, and so, by popular demand, there’s now a third batch for The Story of Us couples retreat!!
In both events, the reviews have been very, very positive. One guy from the first retreat told me he liked it so much he’d sponsor six more couples to the next one we’d have. Another said that while he attended couples retreats of other communities, this made the strongest and clearest use of the Bible when it comes to keeping marriages healthy and vibrant…therefore making it indeed relevant to the enhancement of marriage and family life (and you thought it was just some holy book).
So, if you weren’t able to sign up. Do so now. Like the other two, I foresee this 3rd couples retreat selling out very quickly, since CCF’s couples retreats and family-enriching events are getting more and more known for their excellent content. Even better, the fee has not changed. It’s still P4,500 per couple, and the price is very, very worth it.
