STEP 7) PROMOTE MARRIAGE MENTORING TO THE CONGREGATION
Pastors are encouraged to promote marriage mentoring regularly throughout the year. This will keep the congregation aware of the mentoring program that your church offers. Sign-up cards are used to recruit couples to get mentored. In doing so, include one sign-up card in each bulletin. Encourage anyone who wants mentored to fill out the sign-up card. Make sure to have EVERYONE turn in the cards at the end of the sermon, signed or NOT signed, so no one is singled out.
