The Hills of Lakeway Messenger News For the Residents of The Hills of Lakeway The Hills of Lakeway Messenger July 2008, Volume 2, Issue 7 The Bad, The Broken, and the Bored Realizing God’s Potential - Adults and Children of All Ages Welcome June 12, 2008, Bee Cave, TX—Free Chapel will host a “sneak peek” of the new church July 20, 2008. Meeting at the Hill Country Galleria Cinemark Theatre, the church invites the Lake Travis community members to attend a special Sunday service. Free Chapel is a new, non-denominational church serving the Lake Travis community from Steiner Ranch to Spicewood Springs and everything in between. “People tell me all the time that they are not religious, but that they are very spiritual. I say, ‘That’s great! I’m not religious either!’” says lead pastor, Jeremy Self. “In fact, we are a church for the bad, the broken and the bored.” This “sneak peak” will give people an opportunity to come out and “kick the tires.” It will include a professionally staffed, loving, and quality nursery for infants through preschoolers. In addition, exciting services are slated for school-aged children in Free Chapel Kids. Adults can enjoy the rockin’ music, video, and quality sound, creatively utilizing the arts with an inspirational message. “The event will allow Lake Travis community members to gather together to celebrate and get an insider’s view of this new, life-giving church,” stated Free Chapel Lead Pastor Jeremy Self. “These monthly events, in July and August, allow our church to share our ‘no perfect people allowed’ philosophy. This is our tool to expand our team with people who want to be a part of realizing God’s potential for their lives in order to better serve the community.” This coming “sneak peek” Preview Service of Free Chapel begins at 9 a.m. Sunday, July 20. You can expect to find a relaxed and friendly atmosphere--there’s no need to be formal! There will be greeters and ushers to help you, your family, and your friends find your way around and answer any questions you might have. In typical Austin style, uplifting, live music will be rockin’. The lead pastor, Jeremy Self, will share a relevant message that offers Biblical truths in simple, practical language! At Free Chapel they are offering a “no-hassle guarantee,” stating “We’re always here to serve you in any way we can, but we promise that you won’t be singled out or pressured. You are free to come, observe, and participate in a way that’s comfortable for you.” The “sneak peek” at Free Chapel is going to be a celebration the whole family will enjoy! In the summer of 1995, a deep seed of love for the people of Austin was planted in the heart of the Lead Pastor Jeremy Self. After a thirteen year gestation period, the seed is beginning to blossom, as Free Chapel loves this community through helping people realize God’s potential!

The Hills of Lakeway Messenger - July 2008 The Hills of Lakeway Messenger Taming the Cost of Teens by Rich Keith (NAPS)—Family time is priceless—but today’s teens still cost about a thousand dollars a month. It may seem hard to believe, but if you consider braces, clothes and gadgets, you can probably see how costs begin to mount. Fortunately, there are ways to curtail the cost of having teens. Try these ideas: New Clothes: Instead of battling with your teen over designer duds, offer a “matching funds” program: You decide how much you’re willing to pay for an item and your teen foots the difference. Or go with a lump sum plan: Figure out how much you’d spend on your teen in a semester or quarter and give your child that amount of cash. When it’s gone, it’s gone (this could even teach your teen a little fiscal responsibility). The Extra in Extra Curriculars: Football uniforms, equipment, band gear and other extra curricular activity costs can add up. Some requests may be reasonable, but some might not be. If your teen develops a sudden interest that you suspect may be fleeting, suggest that he pitches in 20 percent of the activity’s cost from his allowance or paycheck. Curtail College Prep College application fees can run $16 to $75 per school, the S.A.T. costs $41.50 and prep courses can run you into the hundreds. Use the Web to narrow down the list of campuses your teen visits and applies to. Then squeeze some visits into your next family vacation to help limit extra travel costs. Contain College Costs Tuition is up at many schools, but there are still costs you can control. For instance, a survey found that after tuition, fees, and room and board, the biggest college expense was car upkeep. Save a bundle by allowing your teen to walk or buy a bus pass. Also, save by shopping for textbooks online and have your teen use prepaid cell phones. The Big Picture Although your teen may pressure you to keep up with the Joneses, it’s your job to remember what’s really important: saving for their college education. Don’t let today’s trends compromise their future. The guidance of a financial professional can often be helpful when developing a college savings plan.

The Hills of Lakeway Messenger Biggest Sale Ever! Starting The Day Off On A Delicious Note (NAPSA)-How you spend the morning hours can set the tone for the remainder of the day. Fortunately, there are many easy ways to get your day off to a great start. Here are a few simple suggestions: • Take a brisk walk. A walk first thing in the morning can reduce stress and generate energy for the rest of the day. Having a buddy to walk with and talk to can also be a mood booster. • Listen to music. Your favorite music can create a sense of peace or fun that sets the mood. If you walk, take your iPod. • Practice yoga. Yoga provides good stress management and exercise. Even fitting in a few minutes of yoga stretching each morning can benefit you. • Stretch during the shower. Hot water can loosen muscles and relieve tension. • Eat breakfast. Start your day off with delicious, nutritious food. Eating breakfast has been shown to help people concentrate during the day and help them maintain a healthy weight. Build the Best for Less. Build with Four Seasons. Up to 33% OFF Factory Direct Savings! Sunrooms Completely Installed! 285 $ a month!* FREEIN-HOME DESIGNSERVICE Vary what you eat so every morning offers tasty treats. For example, substitute nectarine juice for orange juice. A new purepressed process makes it easier to extract not-from-concentrate nectarine juice from nectarines. Starting with only the finest California-grown nectarines, the process gently steams the nectarines in a “spa treatment” to relax and tenderly release the pit, skin and flesh. The process yields 100 percent pure Sun Shower nectarine juice, capturing all the flavor, color, sweetness and nutrition. Drinking only eight ounces of nectarine juice means you get two servings of fruit for the day. Nectarine juice has no added sugar or preservatives and is high in potassium, vitamin C, antioxidants and phytonutrients. It is rich in beta carotene and is fat free and cholesterol free. It’s less acidic than orange juice and, having only 90 calories per serving, has 20 percent fewer calories. For more information, visit www.nbi juiceworks.com. • Start your day the night before. Lay out your clothes and everything you have to take with you in the morning, so you won’t have to rush around looking for things when you’re not quite awake.
