The River Church Community

Hello Everybody,

I wanted to let you know of a program I'm launching on September 6 called "Budget Watchers."  Basically the hope is for this to be a Weight Watchers for our budget.  Weight Watchers is based on the idea that maintaining a healthy lifestyle requires supportive accountability.  We'd like to provide that for any of you that are wanting to work towards financial goals.

So starting on September 6, we are going to meet for just 1 hour before service, 9am - 10am, to share our financial goals and to commit to holding each other accountable.  We'll meet 3 more times, the first Sunday of October, November, and December to encourage each other.  In between meetings, there will be some low-key simple homework to help keep us all on track.

I'm convinced that our culture cultivates wacky attitudes about personal finance and that we have to actively work against them, just to do something as basic as balancing our budget.  I think Budget Watchers will be a fun way for us to begin to turn the tide.

Cool!
