eMatrimony News Flash
September 4, 2005

Thank you to all who have been visiting eMatrimony.org. We are sending this email to you because either you, or someone who loves you, asked us to send you updates about eMatrimony. If you have not yet visited eMatrimony.org, please do so.

Dear Lovers,

This issue of the News Flash includes links to many great articles but before we can begin to talk of them we ask that you take time to pray for the many families affected by Hurricane Katrina. Our National Leaders offer us opportunities to help the WWME Family under News - National, WWME Hurricane Relief Effort. Please consider what you can do to help the many unfortunate people devastated by the tragedy. To remind you of the power of WWME prayer please read The Miracle Of The Ring under Family Weekend - Effect. Or if you have some doubts about the effect of one couple can have in the lives of so many see under Resources - History the two articles: American Couple Takes WWME To The Land Of Their Birth, Yugoslavia and Worldwide Marriage Encounter Expands to Italy.

New articles include:

- Under News/Convention, read God the Son, Priest Day Presentation, 2005 National Convention.

- Under Inviting/Inviting Help, listen to the fruit of the labor expressed in Why It Feels Good To Do Pulpit Talks. If you want to sharpen your inviting skills and have been looking for some dialogue questions consider doing both at once with Inviting Dialogue Questions under Dialogue/Questions.

- Under News/Local, if you have been considering giving your Weekend banners a face lift check out S.O.M.E. Weekend Banners. Also listen in to the expectations of new leaders in Beginning Our Journey as Albany Area Leaders.

- Under Priest’s Corner/Support & Appreciation one of the great priests is honored in We Remember Father Frank Diffley, A Marriage Encounter Priest.

- God’s Work On My Mind and Communicating Our Feelings come to us under Love Letters/Readership.

- As the school season is upon us it might be fun to look back at our summer activities as in Family/Fun does in the article News from Our “Neck O’ the Woods” At the WWME Campout, Holy Cross, Goshen, MA. and to remember what our priorities are under Family/Weekend Effect as you read Balancing Work and Fun and From Bitterness to Joy: Stephens’ Story.

- In Resources/Miscellaneous, a poem to help us reflect on the importance of our spouse in Until Death Do Us Part. If your Dream for WWME has become a bit hazy, reading Come Dream With Us, Risking Makes The Difference should provide clarity and purpose. Of importance to every marriage relationship see In Regards to Sex, Enjoy.

- Under Resources/Archives, we have added the four issues of Matrimony Magazine printed in 1988. We have also updated the Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet listing all articles published from 1988 through 2003.

-When you visit eMatrimony please remember to check our prayer Intentions & Requests. Our family relies on your prayers when they ask us to include their special intentions.
