Here's what you do to put on a Marriage Booster at your church:
Pick a Date
If you have not yet chosen a date for your retreat, you will want to do so soon. Most retreats are held on a Saturday from 9:30am to 4:30pm. The retreat can also be scheduled for a Sunday as well. Talk to the church staff to make sure there are not major conflicts on that date. Check with Family Fest for availability.
Develop a Retreat Team
Don’t do this alone! There are many people in your church who will share your passion for helping build strong marriages. Get them to commit to coming on the retreat and to invite others. We will use these people in various rolls during the retreat such as helping with the welcome, setting out snacks, and getting the lunch ready.
Book a Facility or Reserve Space in Your Church.
Having the right environment is key to your retreat. Find a room that is comfortable and free of distractions. Some churches prefer to get away to a place that might be more conducive to this type of experience such as a retreat center or banquet facility (hotels, golf course, etc.). We can recommend some wonderful retreat locations to you.
Promote, Promote, Promote
Start now. It is important that people hear about it early and often. Personal invitations will be most effective. Use your retreat team to invite couples. |
