UCUMC Grace EMMAUS will meet Sunday: February 12 at 7:00pm in the Sanctuary. 

Have you ever wanted to SPONSOR a pilgrim on a Walk to Emmaus and share your experiences?  Do you feel the calling to help build up the Body of Christ?  Come join us as we learn about Emmaus sponsorship and how we can continue to share God's love with others.  If you plan to attend, please bring your favorite potluck dish or finger foods to be served at a reception in the Fellowship Hall following Emmaus services.  Join us for prayer, fellowship and fun as we sing along to the heavenly music of Grace Notes.  Childcare will be provided.  If you have any questions, please contact Laine Fichter.  De Colores!

CLOSE your eyes and IMAGINE not having a car payment or a house payment.  IMAGINE having an emergency fund for when life throws you a bunch of lemons and a pop quiz.  IMAGINE having Christmas paid for BEFORE it arrives.  IMAGINE retiring without having to worry about relying on Social Security.  LEARN how to get OUT of debt and stay out.  BUILD wealth and be in CONTROL of your money.  ELIMINATE the stress of financial problems and COMMUNICATE better with your partner about money.  Come join FINANCIAL PEACE UNIVERSITY for 13 weekly lessons, taught by Dave Ramsey himself via DVD and coordinated by Mark Mueller.  Class previews are scheduled for January 15 at 3:00pm and January 22 at 1:00pm.  Class officially starts Sunday: January 29 at 3:00pm in room 16/17. For more information, contact Mark Mueller via email at relleum@satx.rr.com, leave a message at (210) 658-7954 or call the Church office.
