Couples listen to a series of presentations as a group, but there are no group discussions. Couples will enjoy:
Couples must register by January 14; registration fee is $45. To register, contact Ann and Luke Tusing at 281-445-0041. No one is ever turned away from an encounter weekend because of inability to pay. When couples arrive, the weekend facilitators present what they call "The Sermon on the Amount," which details the actual cost of rooms and meals for the weekend. (Generally, this will be about $350.) Couples are then asked to make a donation in an amount that they can afford.
