New Venture Christian Church Newsletter Thursday, January 12th, 2012 "Mind Your Own Business." In week two of "Mind Your Own Business" we will discover where the millionaires are found in America. It’s not where you think. It is in some of the most unexpected places. And we will discover some of the practices that have helped them get to where they are. Of course, all of this is constructed around God’s principles for handling finances and minding the business. As a little extra bonus I will share how, if you are in your twenties, to end up with a million dollars and it will only take about $200 additional dollars to get there. this week’s subject, "Act Your Wage." What we are discovering in "Mind Your Own Business" needs to be told to the world. So, how about going out of your way to invite a friend to join you for week two? If you missed week one you can listen to it at this link, http://relaxedchurch.com/wmspage.cfm?parm1=57 You will certainly be glad you did. "Mad About Financial Bondage" is Steve’s latest blog post. Here’s the link, http://stevethornton.wordpress.com/ Debt is a painful bondage. Dear John, We still have about 700 postcards, inviting the community to join us in collecting peanut butter for the Richmond Food Bank, to hand out. They need to be distributed THIS WEEK. If you would be willing to take some and get them in the hands of people or deliver them in your neighborhood give Steve a call at 874-3269 or email him at steve@relaxedchurch.com and make arrangements to get some. Then we need a few volunteers each week to "man" the collection places each Saturday and Sunday in January. The collection times are 10 am-12 noon on Saturdays at the Ministry Center and 9:30 am-11:30 am on Sundays at the church building. We need people to cover all or part of the collection time each week. It is just a matter of being there when people arrive and accepting their donation when they bring it. We will have banners posted to inform the public of the effort and "collection point" location for their peanut butter. Who would like to be the first to sign up as "collection point" volunteer?
