relationship with God over the years. “The book of Nehe- miah says that ‘the joy of the Lord is my strength’ and I have found that to be true. Our only real hope comes from knowing God. Knowing Him will get us through even the toughest of things. I know this is true because I have lived it. Instead of focusing on what may or may not happen to us, we can find hope in knowing that God is in control.” Alexander Chapel bel ieves

LOOKING FOR
A MORTGAGE? If you are
by Michael Creasman, CFP
shopping for a mortgage on your primary residence, you can expect to
need a minimum down payment of 5%-10% for a conforming loan or 10%-15% for a jumbo conforming loan. If you have 20% or more to put down, you can avoid the necessity of purchasing private mortgage insur- ance, which usually costs 0.5%-1.5% of the loan amount annually. As far as credit score is concerned, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (which dictate standards for mortgages they pur- chase from lenders) require a mini- mum credit score of 620. Tose with credit scores that exceed 720 get the best rate. Lenders will also take a close look at your ratio of debt to income. Monthly housing expenses should not exceed 18% of gross monthly in- come. HINT: While mortgage lenders
like to see that borrowers’ total debt does not exceed 36% of their gross income, some stretch the maximum to 45%. Historically low interest rates and
the decline of housing prices in many states have made this is a good time for many people to purchase their first home. If you are in the market for a home, keep in mind the down payment requirements for a mort- gage.

port of the North Buncombe Samaritan’s Ministry. ACUMC also provides bi-monthly wor- ship services for residents of the Brian Center. Another unique outreach of Alexander Chapel is its prayer shawl ministry. Members join others in our com- munity in making handmade shawls that incorporate extensive prayer for those in need. These prayer-covered shawls have been sent to people throughout the country and into other countries as well. “These shawls are a tan- gible expression of our love and prayers,” Kiess said. “This is a praying church where the Word of God is preached. We love God and we love people. Anyone is welcome here as long their heart is willing to worship.” Alexander Chapel will be cel-
ebrating their rich Christian his- tory on the fourth Sunday of this month with their annual summer homecoming celebration. For more information about these and other unique ministries of ACUMC, call 779-2690.
