Idea Starter: Weddings in Your Chapel

June, the most popular month to get married, may find your calendar booked with weddings. Be intentional about offering engaged and/or newly married couples in your community opportunities to connect, serve and meet each other.

* Host a finance class (one-time or ongoing).

* Offer a couples’ weekend featuring a guest speaker and worship time.

* Start a small group for engaged and/or newly married couples.

* Encourage couples to serve in the church together—greet before services, teach a children’s Sunday school class, etc.
