PLAINVIEW, TX — There’s still time to sign up for The Relationship Retreat: Cultivating Communication on Saturday, a free event sponsored by Wayland Baptist University’s Sally Society.
Sherman and Tammy Aten are the featured speakers at the event, which takes place from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., at Harral Memorial Auditorium. The evening also incorporates the Sally Society’s annual Power of the Purse silent auction.
Reservations are appreciated but not required. Go to wbu.edu/relationship-retreat.htm to RSVP for the event or to arrange fee-based childcare.
“This event is open to anyone — singles or couples — wanting to improve communication within their relationships — marriage, dating, friendships, or family relationships,” said Teresa Young, a development officer in the Office of Advancement. “Many are familiar with Sherman and Tammy Aten as the hosts of popular Three2One Marriage Conferences across the nation, but this one-night retreat isn’t just for couples. It’s for everyone.”
Wayland’s First Lady, Laurie Hall said the retreat will offer “some practical and biblical ways of dealing with our relationships whether it’s with spouses, family, or even friends. We all need encouragement and reminders as we juggle and struggle with so many other challenges in today's society.”
The Sally Society incorporated the annual Power of the Purse silent auction into the retreat because the auction has been so successful in funding much-needed projects at Wayland. However, his auction is much more than purses or packages for women.
“With packages to appeal to men and to families, as well as the traditional purse packages we’ve had every year, this is going to be a special edition of the Power of the Purse silent auction,” Young said.
The retreat includes keynote addresses, breakout sessions, snacks, and the auction. All are focused on improving relationships.
Sherman and Tammy Aten, who met while Wayland students, spend an average of 30 weeks per year ministering in the U.S as well as internationally. The couple has a passion for fostering Godly relationships, marriages, and families.
