Financial Peace is coming!

Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University (FPU) is set to launch on Sunday, February 12, so mark your calendars. The 13-week class is from 4:30 to 5:30pm on Sundays with nursery care provided for ages four and under. Tuition is $100 and partial scholarships are available. In this time of economic uncertainty, FPU is a life changing class on personal finances that takes God’s wisdom about money and helps us apply it to our own lives. It will empower you to manage your money better, eliminate debt, build wealth, and be a better steward for the kingdom. All the sessions are taught via informative and entertaining video sessions by Dave Ramsey, followed by small group discussion. For more information, contact Rocky & Theresa Hinten at 249.0470 or email at rockford_hinten@yahoo.com.

What in God’s name is going on INSIDE?

“Inside” refers to inside prisons and jails, and the answer is… MIRACLES ! If you would like to hear how volunteers from Vineyard Boise are bringing the kingdom to men and women who are incarcerated, please join us for a fun, informational meeting on Sunday, February 12, from 1:00 to 3:00pm in Aud. 2. Ministry inside is not what many of you might think…it is bright, clean, safe and the men and women come to our classes/services are hungry for hope and open to the good news of Jesus Christ. God has given us favor. He has pointed out the land, ready to be taken. The army has room for more volunteers! We’ll serve you a light lunch so we’d appreciate your RSVP by Tuesday, February 7, to Marita.mason@vineyardboise.org or 377.1477.

Seed Exchange Party

As January turns to February we begin getting seed catalogs in the mail and start thinking about gardens. The Vineyard women are going to host a seed sharing party on Saturday, February 11. This is going to be super fun and a great way to get lots of garden seeds for the simple investment of one seed packet.

Please email kate.frank@vineyardboise.org and we will send you details about participating in the party.

Faithful Abundant True

This amazing series by Beth Moore, Pricilla Shirer and Kay Arthur is a 7-week study that will begin Wednesday, February 22, from 9:30-11:30am. Childcare is available and preregistration is required. The cost of this class will be $20 and you can register by contacting Kate Frank at the church office 377.1477 or kate.frank@vineyardboise.org. While these three women each speak on the distinctive topic the Holy Spirit has lead them to teach, the messages result in a marvelous blend. Kay challenges us to faithfulness in difficult days, Priscilla points to the essential of trust in God’s ability, and Beth teaches on how to discern truth from error in these difficult days.

Homeless Ministry Opportunity

“Feeding God’s Children” is an awesome way to bless so many with a small time commitment, and it’s also a great way to include your children. We are currently looking for soup makers/salad makers, cookie makers and people to bring fruit (ie: bags of apples or oranges). Your commitment could be once a month or once every three months; we have openings for both. To participate in this ongoing local outreach, contact Julie Harris at 409.7213 or julie83616@gmail.com for food connections, or Tempe at 880.8254 or tempe@vineyardboise.org to get involved in serving at the park on Sunday afternoons.
