Worldwide Marriage Encounter Successful marriages don’t work on automatic pilot – at least not for long. Like a garden, they require constant attention: fertilizing, watering, and weeding. Join us for a Worldwide Marriage Encounter and discover God’s plan for joy, romance and passion in your marriage. The next available WWME weekend is at the Tracy Center in Baton Rouge Oct. 30-Nov. 1. For more information or to register go to LAMSWWME.org or call Jack & Angel LaBate, 470297-8560 or at jackandangel@bellsouth.net
