Debt Free Living at Resurrection Baptist Church

“What could the PEOPLE OF GOD do for the KINGDOM OF GOD if they were DEBT FREE?"

Financial Peace University (FPU) is a biblically based accountability class that teaches you how to manage your resources in a godly manner. The average family that takes this course reduces their debt by $5,300 and saves $2,700 in 91 days, resulting in an increased ability to give!”

Through FPU, Dave Ramsey teaches you about saving money, living on a budget, eliminating debt, retirement, investments, credit reports and even how to experience the JOY of giving!

Resurrection Baptist Church began the FPU course in February and will finish in May.  Five couples are going through the lessons each week (13 in all) and have all ready seen a dramatic change in the way they think about money.  They are learning how to “live like no one else so later they can live like no one else.”

Montpelier Church Hangs Greens

On Sunday, December 2nd, 2007, Resurrection Baptist Church participated in their 4th annual Hanging of the Green service. The service consisted of Christmas carols and the hanging of Christmas banners throughout the service. Each family had certain ornaments to hang on the Christmas tree. Each ornament had spiritual symbolism and was hung during the carol that sang about that symbolism. Everyone was overjoyed by the family atmosphere this service created in the hearts of all present.

Christmas Caroling Outreach

On Wednesday, Nov 28th, 2007, Resurrection Baptist Church participated in their annual “Christmas Carols at Heaton Woods” (an assisted living facility in Montpelier.) Twenty seven people from the church sang Christmas carols and gave out Christmas goodies to many of the residents. The children sang two specials: “O Little Town of Bethlehem” and “Go Tell it on the Mountain” which were particularly meaningful to the senior adults who live in the home.

Ladies Gather for Study

On Monday night, September 10, 2007, twenty four women representing four GMBA churches from central Vermont came together at Resurrection Baptist Church to begin a Beth Moore Bible Study entitled “To Live is Christ: The Life and Ministry of Paul.” These women represent all ages and all walks of life and will spend the next ten weeks studying about what it means to “die daily” and be “crucified with Christ.” Susan Holmes, facilitator for the study, says, "We are overjoyed and a little overwhelmed but God will be glorified!"

Montpelier Church Reaches Out

Members of Resurrection Baptist Church in Montpelier set up free games and activities on the State House Lawn during the Independence Day celebrations the town was having. The games were held right before the parade so a large crowd was able to see and take part in the games. The church gave away Bibles and Gospel tracts. They also invited children who played the games to come to their upcoming Vacation Bible School.

Montpelier Church Takes First Mission Trip

Eight people from Resurrection Baptist Church in Montpelier went on a mission trip to North Waterboro, Maine the last week of August. They worked on the new church building of Lakeside Community Church.

While there they painted almost the entire downstairs floor of the church.

Though many individuals from Resurrection Baptist Church had been on various mission trips over the years with other groups or by themselves, this is the first mission trip for church as a whole to participate in.
