Finance Workshops for all adults in the branch

I just wanted to remind you of the first finance workshop Sunday 17th at 6:00pm at the church. Here's the scedule for the year if you would like to attend any of them. It is a great way to learn and be informed about what is going on with your finances and how to be more provident in your living!
Personal Finance Workshops
Wilmington Branch

The purpose of this course on Personal Finance is to instruct members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints about personal financial management. Development of this course was provided by the Marriott School of Management at Brigham Young University. The course was constructed using critical, pertinent, relevant, and unbiased information. The course is presented from a LDS perspective and is designed to help participants become better stewards of their financial resources. Members from all financial backgrounds will find value in this course. It will benefit everyone from those currently struggling with their finances, to those with significant wealth, and all those who fall somewhere in between.

The course will be presented by Philip Zeigler who is a member of the Wilmington Branch and a Certified Financial Planner™ professional. Each workshop will begin at 6:00 PM on the dates indicated and will be held at the Wilmington Branch church building. All adult members are invited to attend.

Relief Society Sunday Lessons

A great goal for 2010 is to read your Sunday lessons!
I posted the lesson schedule for the year on the right column.
If you need a printed schedule the RS has them to hand out.
This year we are studying the new Gospel Principles manual and it it wonderful.
I would encourage each of you to read the lessons even if you are not able to attend Relief Society on Sundays because of other callings etc. Discuss the lessons and what you have learned with your husband or other family members.
In case you are not familiar with the lesson schedule:
-1st Sundays of the month are Presidency Instruction-the Relief Society Presidency decides what the lesson is on.
-2nd and 3rd Sundays are from the Gospel Principles Book.
-4th Sundays are Teaching for Our Times (TFOT) and are General Conference talks selected by the our Branch President.
-5th Sundays are under the direction of the Brach President.
