Financial Peace University
Beginning Sunday, September 17th
10:30-12:00 noon
Trinity’s Board of Stewardship is excited to announce that we will be offering Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University, a nation-wide, popular, 9 week DVD course. This course helps the Christian be a good steward of the money God has given, and offers practical, down-to-earth ideas on how to get out of debt, save money, buy insurance, plan for college and retirement, make a spending plan, buy and sell a house, and more.
Each class is 1 ½ hours long. The main content comes from the speaker, Dave Ramsey. But at the end of each session there is discussion. The cost of the course is normally $100.00 for each individual or couple. But we are offering a 75% discount to individuals and couples who are members of Trinity and who are under 30 years of age; and a 50% discount for those over 30 years of age! When you take part in the class you will receive an audio version of the class, budget forms, online tools, and a book.
According to the Financial Peace University website, the average debt paid off in the first 90 days after the class is $5,300, and the average amount saved is $2,700. While you may not experience these results, be sure that you will receive some very good teaching that will help you financially throughout life.
We encourage you to sign up now on the bulletin board in the hallway outside the kitchen. As soon as you do (as an individual or as a couple), please make out a check to Trinity Lutheran Church ($25 for individuals or couples under 30; $50 for individuals and couples over 30). If at all possible, please sign up and bring your check before September 1st. This will enable us to order the materials so you will have them by the start of the class.
We are super excited to offer this course. The course is open to non-members; so make sure you invite your neighbors and friends. These will, of course, need to pay the full price of the course. For more information, please speak to Pastor Cloeter.
