Open to the Community
St. Andrew Methodist Church will host a premarital counseling workshop on Friday, August 23, from 6-8:30 p.m. and Saturday, August 24, 8:30 a.m. – 3 p.m., in Piro Hall at St. Andrew, located at 5801 W. Plano Parkway. The workshop, which will utilize Prepare to Last, a premier resource for providing proven, Biblical and inspiring content provided by national experts, will inspire insightful discussions among an encouraging community.
The content includes marriage expectations, communication, conflict resolution, personal differences, financial unity, sex and intimacy, spiritual unity, and goals and dreams. A Prepare/Enrich questionnaire provides each couple with the ability to know their specific areas of focus as well as the strengths to celebrate and build upon.
“It is our hope to help couples establish their marriage firmly in Christ with a clear understanding of how to tangibly apply Biblical trust to your everyday lives together,” said Defae Weaver, congregational care manager. “Join us as we dive into preparing you for an amazing adventure called marriage!”
The workshop is open to the community for $75 per couple. If St. Andrew is the couple’s wedding venue, there is no charge. Following the eight-hour seminar couples will receive a certification of completion to receive a reduced marriage license cost.
