Biblical Bioethics
"BIBLICAL BIOETHICS: Stem Cell, Euthanasia, Cloning, etc" PRESENTED BY: INGOLF WALLOW, MD (UW-Madison School of Medicine, Retired)
In today’s informational age, medical advances and technology have impacted the lives of everyone; consequently, ethical decisions are faced by every Christian. These decisions cover the entire life span from conception to interment. Any one of many circumstances, such as an accident or health crisis, may present a critical juncture without warning which will require a decision. Do you have the resources to make a good, and ethical, decision for yourself or a member of your church family?
Dr. Ingolf Wallow, professor emeritus, from the University Of Wisconsin School Of Medicine, will address issues such as cloning, abortion, stem cell research and end of life decisions from a Christian world view. More importantly, he will provide a practical frame of reference for decision making for every believer.
Lunch will be provided. Don’t miss this relevant Ministry Leaders seminar!

Budget Counseling
If you were going to build a house, you would need a house plan. This plan would tell you the size of the house, and how big each room would be. It would tell you where the windows would go and how high to make the ceilings. You would see where to put the plumbing for the bathrooms and kitchen. Obviously, you wouldn’t be able to know all these things without the house plan. Plans are necessary in order to reach a goal.- The same is true in handling your finances. Not knowing where your money is going makes it very difficult, at best, to plan for expenses that must be paid (heat, electric, home, insurance, etc.). Creating a budget is the best way to ensure there are enough funds available to pay your bills each month. Knowing the amounts of both your income and expenses will allow you to have a plan in place in order to meet your needs.
