Special Preview Night: Wednesday, Sept. 15 @ 7pm in the Worship Center
What is Financial Peace University (FPU)?  It is a life-changing program that teaches you to achieve your financial goals by eliminating debt, saving for the future, and giving like never before. The goal of FPU is not just information—we're looking for transformation.  More than one million families have attended FPU with amazing results. On average, they pay off $5,300 in debt and save $2,700 in just 90 days.  Don’t miss this amazing opportunity to get your financial house in order!!

GET CONNECTED - JOIN A GT LIFE GROUP!
One of the best ways to get connected here at GT is to join one of our Life Groups.  These groups allow members to deepen their relationships and ultimately their faith by “sharing life together.”  It is our hope that all attendees would ultimately participate in a Life Group.  To learn more about joining a group, stop by the Life Group booth in the Atrium after the service or pick up a Life Group Book as you leave the Worship Center this weekend.
