SPIRIT SUNDAY
MINISTRY FAIR
SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 13
BETWEEN WORSHIP
SERVICES
On Sunday, September 13, the Spirit Sunday Ministry
Fair will take place between worship services. This is a
great opportunity for you to learn of all the ministries Desert Spring offers in developing deeply committed followers of Jesus Christ and maybe even find a ministry
where God is calling you to serve. A no cost lunch will be
served.

You Know You Need Financial Peace University ifFrom time to time, I have heard from some previous
Financial Peace University (FPU) Members that they have heard people saying that they do not need FPU as they have
their finances under control. I believe that most people would benefit from FPU as we all can learn some better ways
of handling money. A side benefit of FPU is improved communication between spouses.
You probably have heard Jeff Foxworthys routine on various subjects that begins with You Know You Are a Redneck If You (fill in the blank) I thought that using the Foxworthy approach would be a good way to point out the
necessity for taking a FPU class. The following are a few scenarios to help you determine if you need FPU.
You know you need FPU if you :
paid interest on a credit card in the past two years;
think that having a car loan is normal;
have no clue what your total monthly expenses are;
have a floating rate home mortgage loan;
have less than three to six months expenses in an Emergency Fund;
think that you can retire ONLY on Social Security income;
have ever borrowed from your 401 (k)/401 (b) plan;
fail to contribute at least up to the employer match to your 401 (k)/401 (b) plan;
often have too much month left at the end of your money;
frequently have finance related arguments with your spouse or significant other.
These are just a few red flags that signal that you need FPU. Wouldnt you like to have Financial Peace in your life?
FPU may provide the answer to your prayers about your financial problems.
The $75 cost per individual/couple (normally $103) of this life-changing, 9 - week course includes a lifetime membership, FPU Workbook, Audio CDs for each lesson, and other related FPU materials. Just five (of nine) Membership
Kits remain at the $75 discounted price (normally $103).
Preview: A FREE session featuring Dave Ramseys Dumping Debt lesson will be held in Downs Hall on
Thursday, September 10 at 7:00 PM. Check it out!
Class Meets: Thursdays at 7:00 PM beginning September 24 in Downs Hall
If you want to learn more about Dave Ramsey and FPU or register for the class, you can explore the website at http://
www.daveramsey.com/fpu/locations/class/1000735 or contact me for more information. As Dave Ramsey says, you
can learn to live like no one else, so that later you can live like no one else.
