Fields Chapel

The Total Money Makeover LIVE Event is the LARGEST event on personal finances in the U.S. – period. Why? Because it’s fun. In fact, it’s the most fun you’ll ever have learning how to win with money.

The largest, most exciting event on personal finance is coming to Atlanta on Saturday, January 21, 2012 and you don’t want to miss it! Join Dave as he proves that, no matter what those “other guys” say, finances don’t have to be complex and complicated. Come, laugh, learn, and prosper!

Fields Chapel is selling tickets to this event for $25 each. Please contact Anne or email pastor@fieldschapel.org.

Shoes For Tomorrow is a new ministry that puts shoes on the feet of those who otherwise would not have any. During November and December we will be collecting shoes to take to the homeless and others in need in Atlanta in the month of January. We are looking for shoes of all sizes, new and slightly used. We are also collecting canvas shoes of all sizes. The canvas shoes will be decorated January 4^th and will help us to bring our church and community together. We hope that through this ministry we not only help put shoes on bare feet but also get the opportunity to spread God’s word.

Collection boxes are in Hendrix Hall. If the doors are locked, leave your shoes outside on the benches.

Questions? Contact Megan McLees at shoes@fieldschapel.org (shoes null@null fieldschapel NULL.org).

Forever Fed is gearing up for their annual Thanksgiving Outreach. Last year they set a record by serving over 500 meals, this year they plan on serving over 700! They can use all the support that we can give them. This Thanksgiving’s outreach is a week-long affair and takes a lot of food, supplies and physical participation. The food is all cooked and prepared days before the big day, and the event itself is a huge effort! »»

Last Sunday our congregation reviewed the Six Key Financial Principles. In case you missed it, please take time to read these principles and Scriptures. They will make a great table devotional for you and your family. By practicing these biblical principles, all of us can find greater simplicity, contentment, generosity, and joy for our lives.

1. Pay your tithe and offering first.
2. Create a budget and track your expenses.
3. Simplify your lifestyle (live below your means).
4. Establish an emergency fund.
5. Pay off your credit cards, use cash/debit cards for purchases, and use credit wisely.
6. Practice long-term savings and investing habits.

You may have heard about our youth ministry’s exciting new initiative called Team 316 from a letter or email you received recently. Our vision is to gather team members from our church and community who will contribute just $3.16 a week over the next year to support our youth ministry outreach efforts. With all of us in this together, we will be able to support our annual mission trips, local outreaches, and other ways we serve as the hands and feet of Jesus.

Team 316 will be our only fundraising effort all year, so please stop by our table Sunday, September 11 or Sunday September 18 to get all your questions answered and sign up to be on the team. »»
