Q Marriage enrichment opportunities
love
Are you a newlywed or engaged to be married? Are you interested in being mentored by couples from the church who are experienced and equipped with excellent materials for marriage enrichment? If so, we have two options for you. One option is to be mentored in a group setting alongside other couples; the other is to be mentored individually as a couple. For more information or to register, contact Betty Montague, betty.montague@pcpc.org or 214-224-2683.
