MARRIAGE ENRICHMENT COURSE WEEK 4- the enticement is the homebaking

Image via WikipediaThe Marriage Enrichment course being held at St. Francis of Assisi  has continued to have good attendance. The formula of food works well! I go anticipating the good home baking of Jennifer Lay, one of the chaplain's wife, who is a leader. This week we were given a fruit flan cheesecake with home made graham cracker- oatmeal base! Last week it was home made fresh cinnamon buns. The week before it was Sex in a Pan! I am surprised that Bob and Jennifer Lay are so svelt! .
The course participants vary for almost newly weds to those of us in the 30 plus range. As we stay in couples there is not much discussion between the groups other than at snack time! We are fortunate in having such generous leaders who donate time to prepare a pleasant atmosphere with small tables lit by tea lights. Our break with home baking and coffee, regular and herbal teas is the highlight of the evening as some of the discussion for the Marriage course can be intense .

we are continuing to follow the  8 week course based on the video and manuals from  www:themarriagecourse.ca.
so far we have focused on Building Strong Fouondations, the Art of Communication, Resolving Conflict and this week The Power of Forgiveness. Next week we will focus on The Impact of Family_ Past and Present..

However I am looking forward to the home baking!
We have had Bob Lay. Shaun Turner and Raachid Khadij  as chaplain support.
