HOW TO MANAGE MONEY

The LICC offers seminars on how to manage your money well - and not get ripped off on loans. Our presentations usually run an hour to 90 minutes, and we will tailor it to the needs of your audience. We can do shorter programs, for example, for a college class, campus ministry group, or youth and their parents. They could be a great addition to your congregation's stewardship campaign, helping people to think faithfully about our stewardship of all our resources. Each presentation is shaped around the needs of the audience and we are prepared to address a wide variety of topics.

We would also be glad to do presentations for religious leaders on how to manage a congregation's money more effectively, reduce expenses, pay for energy conservation measures, etc. And as the Wall Street Journal reported recently, a growing number of houses of worship are in trouble with their mortgages. We'd be glad to help your congregation think about its options in managing money.

The LICC will arrange speakers, educational materials, and other freebies. There is no charge for this program. (Thanks to grants from Astoria Federal Savings, Bank of America, Bethpage Federal Credit Union, Capitol One, Citibank, JPMorgan Chase, Ridgewood Savings Bank, the State Bank of Long Island, TD Bank, and Wells Fargo Home for making it possible for the Long Island Council of Churches to provide this free program!) We have speakers who can handle a variety of languages. If you would like to have such a seminar, call 516-565-0290, ext. 206, fax 516-565-0291, or e-mail tomgoodhue@optonline.net.
