Glow in the Dark party!

We had a great time at our Glow in the Dark party last Friday night. Our fun night began with glow in the dark bracelets and tatoos (the rub on kind). There was lots of running around and ball playing as well.




Later we went upstairs to the theater room. How did we get there in the dark? We followed the footprints! That's right! Glow in the dark footprints - pretty cool! We talked about how Jesus is the light that shines in our hearts and we made beaded necklaces which were also glow in the dark. Some very talented people made their beads in the shape of a cross.




After coming back downstairs, we ate snacks included this glow in the dark jello with the glow in the dark centipede friends who made a nice garnish (just for decoration though).

Financial Peace

Beginning March 1st First Presbyterian will be offering "Financial Peace University." This is a great program that will benefit you and your family.

Here are what others are saying about FPU:

"As a pastor, I saw many needs in our church, from families in disarray due to financial issues to young people graduating in debt without a plan. Financial Peace Univeristy helped 200 families in or congregation pay off over $733,000 and save over $192, 000."

-Bishop Joseph Walker, Mt Zion Church

"One of the thigns that I love about Financial Peace University is the Baby Step system. People don't have to do it all at once, they just have to take one step at a time. if you just enroll in this course and only reach Baby Step One, you'll experience some freedom and relief and then be encouraged to move on to Baby Step Two."

-Bob Shelton, Oklahoma General Convention, OK

I started listening to Dave Ramsey's radio show when I lived in Mississippi. People called in with their financial problems, and he gave them advice. Many of us live beyond our means, and that creates tension at home, but as Dave says if we can live like no one else now, then we can live like no one else later. That means if you live responsibly and quit relying on your credit cards, you can begin putting money in savings and not go into debt to put your kids through college or in retirement!
