Ministry With Married Couples
Resources
If you are interested in materials that can be used by small groups of couples who want to invest in keeping their marriages fresh, alive and growing, please click on Resources for Small Groups. If you want to start meeting with a group of other couples in your area informally, in the homes of the participants, contact us at marriedministry.stjamesparish@gmail.com
