This past weekend Bridgit went on our Engaged Encounter in Jackson, MI. The retreat was pretty cool. Some of the material we had already covered in other things. The NFP Class that was supposed to happen afterwards was canceled, so we were bummed (it is all we have left to do).

• We C.A.R.E Communication Class
  
• NFP Class
  
• FOCUS Couple where we do an inventory of topics/issues
  
• Catholic Information Series
