Julie and I are so excited for our upcoming retreat. We are looking forward to three Baptist “Fs” – Food, Fun, and Fellowship – with you all as we enjoy each other’s company and celebrate the institution of marriage.

We will have activities that will be fun and thought provoking in ways to help us “take stock” of our marriages. This retreat will be a great way to spend time with your spouse, connect, and continue growing your relationship as a couple.

Here are the details of the retreat:

Trinity Baptist Marriage Enrichment Retreat
Beach Cove Resort
4800 S. Ocean Blvd.
North Myrtle Beach, SC 29582
Friday, Feb. 28th through Sunday, March 2nd, 2025
Cost is $375 per couple for the weekend. Meals are not included. (Please respond ASAP or by Jan. 28th so we can give the hotel a headcount.)

We would LOVE to have a big turnout so we hope that you will be able to attend and help to recruit others to come as well. Think about those who have participated in past MEG events like the monthly group meetings as well as the retreats and invite them to come. In fact, if you know other couples from work, family, or elsewhere, they are invited to attend as well. This isn’t exclusive to those who currently attend Trinity.

Finally, please reach out to me with any questions about the event. I’m happy to help. My phone number is (919) 780-9144. Several have already committed to join so for those who are ready, you may take your payment to the Trinity office or give it to me or Julie and we will count you in.

Thank you so much and we appreciate all of your support as we prepare for a great weekend together!

Family Promise of the Triangle began in 1994 providing church-based emergency shelter and meals to Wake County families experiencing homelessness.

They now have programs in prevention, emergency shelter, post-shelter stabilization, rapid rehousing, traditional housing, and a New Lease on Life. All these programs help to accomplish their mission to end homelessness in the Triangle.

Churches participate in the Family Promise ministry by providing food and sponsoring activities for families in emergency shelter.

Trinity has committed to “hosting” families 3 times a year by:

• Donating money or Food Lion gift cards to be used to purchase meals
• Praying for the families, workers and volunteers
