Help out - Join Our Community

Becoming a Presenting Couple (Team)
On the weekend you were introduced to two married couples and a priest who shared some of their life stories with you. Being a presenting couple gives you a chance to do the same thing. If you are serious about marriage as a sacrament, and want to support and guide couples, then contact Jeremy & Aarin Wiltz at 703-723-6362 or ceelead@verizon.net.

We ask that couples interested in becoming a presenting couple be married for at least one year, and observe an Engaged Encounter weekend prior to finalzing your decision to join our community as a presenting team. We ease you in gradually, working through your preparation over a 6-12 month period.  A significant benefit for you as a couple, and for your family, is the opportunity to regularly interact with other couples and families who share your values and will support your journey through marriage. Beyond this, being on weekends several times each year allows you to work on your own relationship and renew your marriage.

Being a Welcoming Couple
Do you like meeting new people and making new friends? 
Excellent! Consider becoming a Friday Night Welcoming Couple. We need help on the Friday evening of each weekend from 6:30 to 8:00 PM. You help us set up and then check in the couples as they arrive and guide them to their rooms. It is a chance to chat and answer their questions. You choose the best Friday for your schedule.
Sound good? Then contact Chris & Kirsten Egan at 703-455-1355 or christopher.egan@us.ibm.com.

Being a Witness Couple                                                                                                                            Remember when you arrived for your weekend--the thoughts, doubts, excitement, concerns?  Witness couples spend a few moments at the beginning of the weekend briefly sharing their Engaged Encounter weekend experiences; their initial doubts, their struggles, and finally their excitement and joy with the growth of their relationship and the tools provided on the weekend.  You choose the best Fridays for your schedule.  Are you ready?  Then contact Chris & Kirsten Egan at 703-455-1355 or christopher.egan@us.ibm.com.

Being a Prayer Couple
Support through prayer is one way you help couples making an Engaged Encounter Weekend. This is done from home. You do not need to come to the weekend. As explained on your weekend, you can become a prayer couple. Contact Dave & Cathy Bernero at 703-642-5242 or berneros@yahoo.com.
