Dave Ramsey Coming to Gwinnett Arena...and Sugarloaf (sorta')

Financial guru Dave Ramsey is coming to the Gwinnett Arena for a day long seminar September 13, 2008. We have 100 tickets for sale at the church. Going out on a bit of a limb, we pre-purchased the tickets to assure members of our community they would be able to attend. We did this because this is such an important issue. We have got to become better stewards of the money we earn. God blesses us and expects us to bless others. Take a few minutes to read Ramsey's article. I have provided the link to the Dave Ramsey website. This is life changing stuff!

 

By the way, Financial Peace University, Dave Ramsey's finance course for families will be offered at Sugarloaf UMC this fall. We are committed to helping you become the best you can be! Check with Mike Devine for details.
