Pastor Eric Brown of the Methodist Church is offering to lead the Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University classes and has scheduled a 30 minute meeting at the mission house on January 30 at 7 p.m.to give all interested parties a preview of the course. The mission statement of Dave Ramsey is "We provide biblical based, common sense education and empowerment which gives HOPE to everyone from the financially secure to the financially distressed." They empower churches to train their congregations to handle God's money according to biblical principles. In each two hour weekly session, the class will watch an entertaining lesson on DVD and then engage in an active small group discussion. It is a 13 week course - 91 days to beat debt and build wealth! All are welcome!

Please consider purchasing a cranberry hymnal and donating it to the church. We ran out of hymnals on Christmas eve! This is good because it means we had a lot of people, but not so good because we want everyone to have a hymnal! They are $22.50 each.

The Maricopa Food Bank is in need of both in person and phone volunteers. If interested, please give them a call at 520-251-0226 and let them know that Maricopa Lutheran sent you. Also, food is still needed - so feel free to bring it on Sunday!
