Trafford Christian Life Centre - Friday Feb 27 @ 7.30pm
The objective of the evening is for Peter Hayes, one of the Area Co-ordinators for Stewardship – a Christian financial support services charity – to talk about ways churches can get involved in this area of debt, using resources available from Stewardship.
The emphasis of Stewardship’s approach is to help people avoid getting into debt i.e. they are not aiming to create debt advisers , an expert role requiring training and licensing. They provide information and tools to help support people with financial planning / budgeting and also to point them in the direction of expert help where needed.
The overall objective of the evening is to help raise awareness both of the issues people might be facing and some tools the church members can use to provide support. The evening is offered with no commitment needed other than to come and hear what Peter has to say. I stress this is not aimed purely at clergy , but anyone who has (or thinks they might have) an interest in this area of ministry. If nothing else you will go away with more information about this very important issue. Please publicise this within your church(es). It would help us with organisation if anyone wishing to attend could contact me in advance to ensure we get enough cups out!!
[Hilary and I have first hand experience of the resources from Stewardship and are now volunteers with Stewardship Money. We have found the information and training we have been given invaluable and trained as budget coaches – a one day session with lots of practical advice which we have already used at TCLC . We will also be running sessions at TCLC in Feb/Mar using the ‘Being Moneywise’ material mentioned on the Stewardship website. We will be covering: How to stay in control : How to Budget: How to deal with credit: ]
