This is the link to sign up for the FPU course that I am facilitating at our church. You can also go to his website (www.daveramsey.com) for any other information, on the class or otherwise. After you register, drop a check off at the church or me whenever you can ($75.00 per family for parishoners). Spaces are filling up, so make sure you get one! It also helps me to know if we have enough materials or if we need to order more.

Sounds good. We’re doing two things here at Emmanuel that will touch on some of these points.
First, we’re giving to the St. Mary’s Home for Children this year. Hats, mittens, bedding, and gift cards are just a few ideas of things that you can give to over 60 kids, ages 8-17. See this week’s bulletin for more information.
But we also realize that you’re going to get an new blender for someone, or that your kid has to have a Wii and that puts you in debt. What then? We’re offering a class starting in January called Financial Peace University, a class designed by Dave Ramsey to get you out of debt. The average family that takes this 13-week class pays back $5,300 of debt and save $2,700 in 90 days. $5300 paid off. $2700 more in the bank. A preview will be held on January 3, and the class will begin on January 12. For more information, call the office 658-1506.
