Sex; What They Don't Tell You. Why Wait for Marriage?
Tara White, author of Don't Curse Your Wedding Bed Before You Say I Do, has been tapped as the speaker for the forum, to be held March 7 at Mt. Bethel Baptist Church, 75 Rhode Island Ave. NW. The newly ordained minister is on a mission to help singles understand the value of abstinence. One of the reasons I wrote Don't Curse Your Wedding Bed Before You say I Do, is to make singles people aware of the pitfalls that I went through,†she says. The forum is scheduled to start with a reception with refreshments at 5:30 p.m. and the program will begin at 6 p.m. Abstinence Awareness Week 2011 Flier and bulletin insert: Side A Side B |
