The Updated FPU is Coming to Red Bridge

We are pleased to announce that Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University is coming back to Red Bridge Church of Christ.  FPU has been updated with a new format and new material.

Here are some of the changes:
9 weeks instead of 13
1.5 hours/ class instead of 2
New speakers join Dave on stage
More focus on the budget
More focus on scripture

There has never been a better time to get your financial life in order.  We look forward to you joining us in this journey towards financial peace.

If you have previously gone through FPU, your lifetime membership is still good (you will have to pay an additional cost if you would like to upgrade your materials, but you can attend class for free).  

FPU at Red Bridge is back!

Financial Peace University (FPU) is returning to Red Bridge!  Classes start January 9^th January 16th and run for 13 weeks.

“In 13 action-packed lessons, you'll learn how to beat debt, build wealth, find bargains, invest for the future, give like never before, and much more! This information will change your life.” daveramsey.com

Listen to what recent Red Bridge FPU graduates are saying:

“Lindsay and I cannot recommend this class enough.  We took this class last fall and it has been one of the best decisions we have made as a couple. My parents taught me good spending habits but this class taught me so much more about giving, saving, and spending in a proactive way.  This class has taken all of the stress out of money management and we are now debt free except for the house!”

- Reuben James

“I can say that the $1,000 safety net has been a HUGE blessing multiple times whether it be our water heater breaking or crazy car troubles or our furnace going out.  Also, since I had never studied our cash-flow or created a budget, I had no idea how attainable a debt free life really is.  I thought we would be paying off debt for years and years if it hadn't been for FPU.”

- Mark Smedvig

Money Matters from Proverbs 13

I was reading Proverbs 13 today and I wanted to share some of the financially related topics from there.

⁴ Lazy people want much but get little,
      but those who work hard will prosper.

 ¹¹ Wealth from get-rich-quick schemes quickly disappears;
      wealth from hard work grows over time.

¹² Hope deferred makes the heart sick,
      but a dream fulfilled is a tree of life.

²² Good people leave an inheritance to their grandchildren,
      but the sinner’s wealth passes to the godly.

Scripture taken from the New Living Translation (NLT)
