Many churches have found that when a couple renew their wedding vows that the occasion turns out to be a great time of outreach as the couple will invite their family and friends many of whom may not normally attend church.

Sow the seed early with members of the church by talking about marriage early in the year and make the suggestion that couples may like to renew their vows during Marriage Week.
