Financial peace for you and the church

Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010

We are currently offering Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University. This is the first time we have offered it and it has been a great experience for us so far. We have had people from both in and outside our church circle involved in the class. We hope to offer the class again in the future.

Recently, one pastor wrote a post from his perspective about why churches are hurting financially and how the Financial Peace University program can help not only individuals but churches find some financial peace.
He writes:

A good stewardship campaign and good stewardship education is important, but household debt is what is crippling stewardship for congregations, not bad campaigns. I think there are bad campaigns out there, and some congregations don’t even bother to intentionally ask people to give. However, I continue to see evidence that household debt is a key element for congregations’ struggle with stewardship.

Today’s Sermon – Bankruptcy

Sunday, January 31st, 2010

Please click here to read today’s sermon on 1 Corinthians 13.

As I was studying today’s scripture passage I somehow struck upon what I thought was an interesting coincidence… today’s passage is the 13th Chapter of Corinthians, or in other words it’s “Chapter 13.”

I don’t know if the term “Chapter 13” rings a bell for you or not, but it just so happens that it’s a rather famous chapter found in our U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Chapter 13 governs the process of bankruptcy for individuals and corporations in the United States.

We Pray for Haiti

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010


The people of Haiti are in our prayers. Make a financial impact by visiting the Presbyterian Disaster Assistance. Give. Act. Pray.

We pray for Haiti:

God of compassion
please watch over the people of Haiti,
and weave out of these terrible happenings
wonders of goodness and grace.
Surround those who have been affected by tragedy
with a sense of your present love,
and hold them in faith.
Though they are lost in grief,
may they find you and be comforted.
Guide us as a church
to find ways of providing assistance
that heal wounds and provide hope.
Help us to remember that when one of your children suffers
we all suffer;
through Jesus Christ who was dead, but lives
and rules this world with you. Amen.

— Bruce Reyes-Chow, Gradye Parsons and Linda Valentine
