and how to avoid them, diversification
strategies, and criteria for selecting a good
financial advisor. Our goal is to empower
all members to be better stewards of God’s
money, by sharing in “Hands-On” money
management techniques through interactive classroom activities. Come out and
learn what the Bible says about these topics. Mark your calendars for February 22nd
from 9-11am. Sign up in the narthex after
service or email the ministry at [email protected].
