On March 1st you will have the opportunity to attend the Managing Your Money seminar at Tenth. (Contact Nancy Hala at nhala@tenth.org to register.) One of the speakers is Bryce Bartruff. Bryce has attended Tenth since 1980 where he has taught regularly on personal finance and has also served as the treasurer of the diaconate. He recently provided me with some more information, provided below, on the content of the seminar. I also asked him for his thoughts on what the purpose of the seminar is. He shared the following with me:
The idea is to provide Christians of every age and economic level the insights they need so they can be confident they are making wise financial decisions and lifestyle choices. The balance between saving for the future, living a nice lifestyle today and being able to contribute to the church in the way the Lord desires requires insight and wisdom. We will provide appropriate tools to be able to do just that.
