PULPIT TALKS

One of the most effective ways to get the message out about WWME is through Pulpit Talks.  These are usually 3-5 minute talks presented by an encountered couple just before the final blessing at a mass.  Then the couple stands at the entrance to the church with our flyers and tri-folds to answer questions of any parishioners who may come up to them after Mass.

How can you help spread the word about Marriage Encounter?  
  • Talk to your pastor and ask if he would be willing to have pulpit talks at your parish.  Then let your deanery reps know and they will contact the couple who organizes the Pulpit Talks
  • Be a "Pulpiteer".  You and your spouse can be the couple that presents a Pulpit Talk.  There are outlines to follow and you can practice by having another more experienced couple review your talk.  Any encountered  couple can do this!
  • Hand out tri-folds.  If you aren't ready to speak in front of the whole parish, help the Pulpiteers by handing out flyers after mass and answering the questions of people who come by.
All you really need to do is be the loving couple you are and your couple light will shine through.  

"Do not ask the Lord to guide your footsteps. if you are not willing to move your feet."
