Cathedral Marriage Enrichment Weekend


All you married couples keep this date in your diary free: 13-14th June. The Cathedral Marriage Enrichment Weekend will commence at 9:30 am on the Saturday in the city, and conclude just after lunch on the Sunday. Saturday night will be a date night out at a city restaurant of your choosing (and your cost). You'll also stay the night in the city together and attend 10:30 church, followed by a closing talk with Phillip Jensen.

It's a great opportunity for us to work on our marriages - acknowledging some of the difficulties of marriage while actively working on our marriages for the better. You will need to make alternative arrangements for any children you have, as they are not catered for in the programme.
