Ministry Update

THE MONEY SECRET
Last night was the last night of our 6 week course in Arbroath. The Money Secret is a book about how to budget and take control of your finances. Produced by Care for the Family. Alongside the book, which is written in a story form (Teaching key principles through a story) there is a workbook and adult education course - making it very user friendly.
The course in Arbroath seems to have gone well with 7 participants and some positive feedback.

You don't need to be in trouble to do the course. Some people just do it to know how to help others, or how to develop a budget that they can stick to.

Alongside the course we offered Budget coaching since we are trained Stewardship Budget Coaches. Some participants took the opportunity for a one to one financial "health check".

Street Pastors
Last Friday saw the launch of Street Pastors in Stirling. The launch was in Sporters Bar in Stirling, then 15 volunteers were on the street to help. Normally it will only be a team of 3 or 4 on each night but we wanted people to be aware of the new initiative so 15 were out at once.
Some great opportunities and chats were encountered. A great way to sho God's love practically.
