200 Series Workshop
Developing Financial Wisdom
(This class will be part of the Wednesday night Classes @ Willow beginning in the fall of 2008)
(Keep checking for exact dates and times)
Developing Financial Wisdom is different from other financial workshops and seminars. The emphasis is not on developing a budget or getting out of debt, but on thinking differently about money. This workshop and God's Word will challenge you, and if you let it, will have a lasting impact on how you view money.
Move beyond just "getting by" financially to growing God's resources with God's wisdom. 
Call 224-512-1754 or email goodsense@willowcreek.org for more information.
