Growing Toward Marriage
Held in February 27, 2010, this 1-day seminar helps couples plan and prepare for marriage.  It is a unique experience where  couples not only listen to brief informational talks presented by other couples, but also have the opportunity to participate in small group discussions and excerises designed to practice the skills essential to developing  a strong and fulfilling relationship.


The cost of the seminar is $100 if couples pre-register.  All materials (including workbook and 3 meals for Saturday) are included in the price of the seminar.  GTM is offered during the last weekend of February during even years.  The next GTM will be held in 2010.  Contact Christian Family Services at (314) 968-2216 or (618) 397-7678 for specific schedule and registration information.
Many Couples plan for their wedding.  Isn't it time you planned for your marriage?
Growing in Marriage
Marriage isn't easy.  But it is one of the greatest blessings God provides for us on earth.  In order to have a great marriage, constant growth is essential.  This seminar provides a "check-up" for married couples who want to make sure their marriage is all it can be.  This weekend seminar is designed for couples to "retreat" and reconnect with each other, strengthen their bonds and commitment to each other.  Growing in Marriage is offered the last weekend in February during the odd years. 
Celebration of Marriage
This yearly banquet provides an evening of food, fellowship and fun as we celebrate our marriages.  This semi-formal  "dress - up" winter event is designed to celebrate together in a relaxed environment with other Christians the joy of marriage.  The date for the 2011 celebration dinner will be February 12th.
