The Family Life Organization, a ministry of Campus Crusade for Christ is holding a marriage retreat!
On the weekend of March 9th through the 11th a high quality Marriage Enrichment program will take place at the Hyatt Regency (Wichita).

They are providing a 100% scholarship for the event, making it FREE to all Active Duty and their spouses (additionally, those who may have left active duty but have returned from deployment within the last 18 months are also free.)   The program is open to members of all faiths.

HOW DOES THIS WORK?   Simply call 1-800-358-6329 and ask to take advantage of the military scholarship funding and register over the phone.

You could stay at home and enjoy this weekend program, but why not enjoy the weekend away from the kids at the Hyatt for next to nothing?

Call the McConnell Chapel to make your reservation for a room at the Hyatt Regency for two nights and you will only pay $50.00 for a two night stay at the Hyatt, we will pay the rest!  That’s right, we will pay more than $125.00 of your bill, but you must arrange for your room through the chapel to make this happen. 

The first 20 couples to respond to this e-mail by writing Chaplain, Captain Chung at:  asa.chung@us.af.mil will receive this aid from the chapel.  Please e-mail, do not call.  The first 20 to pay will be reserved.

Not sweet enough?  Well,… if you attend this retreat, we will give you your $50.00 back in the form of a gift certificate for a fine dining date night with your spouse!

While you must register for the event using the 800 number, you can see more details of the event on the website below.
