FINANCIAL PEACE UNIVERSITYFinancial Peace University is a nine-week class beginning January 14th that focuses on learning how to manage our money using biblical principles that make sense in today’s world. It isn’t your typical “money class” — it’s practical, entertaining, and fun! More than 1.5 million families have taken FPU, and the average family completing the course pays off $5,400 in debt and saves $2,700 in just 90 days. The starter kit costs $100, and scholarships are available (contact a pastor for information on scholarships.) Sign up for FPU in the lobby or through our website.

CHILDREN’S OPPORTUNITIES [11:00am]In addition to our nursery care, during the 11:00am Worship service we have Kingdom Kids Worship for children ages kindergarten through third grade. The children begin the hour in worship with their families then join in for Children’s Time. Afterward they will go with their leaders to the children’s wing to sing and learn how even they can impact their community and world through missions.

CHILDREN’S OPPORTUNITIES [9:00am/10:00am]Children are always welcome in the worship services at Grace, and we love to hear them join us in worship! We offer nursery care for children ages 6 weeks through preschool during the 9:00am Worship service and the following Sunday School hour. The sign-in area is on your right as you enter the children’s wing from the lobby.
