Reflection and Appreciation for Aug. 19

by Lydia Compton

On Friday evening, August 26th, Rev. & Mrs. Doo invited all who had helped with the August 19th Blessing Event to come to a BBQ and Reflection/Eval‎uation Meeting at CHG. After sharing dinner

together, 20 brothers and sisters gathered for an open and candid conversation about the event.

Their lively conversation ranged from criticism of weak points to appreciating successes and recognizing the impact of the program on our guests. After reviewing all the main elements ---finances,

registration, care for the Blessing couples, behind the scenes preparations, the ceremonies & the

entertainment-- it was concluded that, although 430 couples did not attend and that some definite

improvements should be made for the next time-- all in all it was a very successful event, a good

beginning.

One final point agreed upon by the group was the importance of taking the next step, of creating

follow-up care and education specifically for the Seven Couples who received the Blessing this

time. We can all look forward to hearing more about this soon!
