Class Materials

Now that you've signed up, make sure that you will have the needed materials for the first lesson.  If this is your first time through FPU you will need to order a lifetime membership packet.  You can do this on your own, but it is cheaper to order through the church.  If you've been through FPU before, just bring your old packet.

To order through the church, simply make out a check to Red Bridge Church of Christ for $93 and give it to myself (Scott) or Jim Dalton.  It takes 7-10 days for shipping and we would like to order all the packets at once, if possible.  That being said, please have your check/cash by Wednesday, September 1st.

If the materials don't make it in time, I will make copies of Lesson 1 from the workbook.  Also, if you are still on the fence about FPU (even after watching the preview), you can attend the first week free.  After that you will need to purchase materials.
