Faith Evangelical Lutheran Church will offer Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University (FPU) early in 2017. This class covers biblically-based principles of money management, beneficial to
all from young people starting out on their own to older couples. Millions of people have taken this class,
learning God’s ways of handling money and changing their futures for the better. On average, FPU graduates pay off $5,300 in
debt and save $2,700 in only the first 90 days!
FPU consists of a nine-week video
curriculum taught by financial expert Dave Ramsey. The class also incorporates small group
discussions that help encourage accountability and discipleship, and it is as
fun as it is practical! Sessions will be
held at Faith in the Fellowship Hall from 6:30 – 8:00 Tuesday evenings, 10
January through 7 March. The course will
consist of the following lessons:
- Super saving
- Relating with money
- Cash flow planning
- Dumping debt
- Buyer beware
- The role of insurance
- Retirement and college planning
- Real estate and mortgages
- The great misunderstanding
Class materials cost $99.98 per
family or couple, if ordered through Faith.
We may have some congregation members that would benefit greatly from
the class, but could use some assistance with the tuition. To sponsor one of these members, please speak
with Pastor Ewings or Jeff Bromaghin.
On
average, 30% of FPU attendees come from the community surrounding the
sponsoring congregation. In our case, 11
members of the community have enrolled in the class so far. What an awesome opportunity to reach out to
the community and offer information that could greatly benefit their lives!
We
are planning to show a short preview of the first class at 6:30 on Tuesday, 13
December. This will be an opportunity
for members of the congregation to visit with attendees from the community and
help them feel comfortable and welcome at Faith.
This will also be the last opportunity to enroll in the class, as a bulk
order for materials will be placed later that week.
Please
speak with Pastor Ewings or Jeff Bromaghin to enroll or for additional
information. You can also enroll with Sheila Lillo in the office.

Christ,
