How to Get Out of Debt in 5 - 7 Years, Including Mortgage

Don’t Be Normal, Because Normal is Broke

Patmos Chapel is excited to announce that on Sunday, September 28th, we will host the workshop “How To Get Out of Debt in 5-7 Years, Including Your Mortgage, With the Money You Already Make” with Bob Marette. Bob is a noted financial adviser in the Denver area, and he has spoken at many churches around the country, on TV, and radio. His daily radio program, “Out of Debt with Bob Marette” can be heard along the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains. His heart is to get people free from the bondage of debt.

This is NOT a Financial Seminar, How to Get Rich Quick, or How to Cut Your Taxes seminar. It does not involve Insurance, Securities, or Debt Consolidation. It IS a straight – line approach to eliminate debt. Best of all, there’s no cost!

Please join us at Patmos Chapel from 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. Bring a list of your debts and a calculator. You will leave knowing when you will be able to be debt free. There is no cost for this workshop; however, all attendees are asked to bring two cans of food for a local Food Ministry. You will not want to miss this. Bring your friends and family; this is a life-changing event. A Continental Breakfast and Child Care will be provided. Again there is no charge for this event. Some educational tools will be made available for purchase.

Idols of the Heart

Idols of the Heart with Elyse Fitzpatrick  
October 24-25, 2014 on Friday 6:30-9:30 p.m. and Sat 9:00 a.m.-12 p.m.

Learning to Long for God alone… Many people desire to live godly lives, but feel trapped in habitual sins. They trip over the same bad habit, embarrassing weakness, or sinful secret they wanted to be free of years ago. This 2-day conference will reveal that idolatry lies at the heart of every besetting sin. If you think of idols as stone statues in far off lands, think again, idols are the desires, longings, and expectations we worship instead of the true God. Fitzpatrick helps uncover hidden idols by moving us to ask:

~ What do I long for so much that my heart demands,”Give me this, or else I’ll die?”

~ What must I have for my life to be meaningful and happy?

~ Do I love God whole-heartedly or are there other loves in my heart that clamor for my attention?

Fitzpatrick shares the hope found in God’s desire to have His children live free of idols, and His commitment to free them by His sanctifying power.

Cost is $35 per person.
