HEALTH MINISTRIES
Mind, Body, and Spirit Programs
Upcoming programs are also announced in our
Sunday Morning Tide bulletins and Monthly Tidings Newsletters.
Kathy recently attended an in-service in Detroit on the difference between normal changes in the aging brain and dementia. It was very informative, and we are grateful for the opportunity to learn more so we can better care for one another. God willing, we hope to offer a presentation for the congregation this fall.
Help Us Care for One Another: Call List Update Needed
Please contact the office if you are, or know of, someone who does not receive email notifications about the serious illness or passing of a church member, or if someone would welcome a home visit. We have not updated this ministry in some time, and it is important that we continue to reach out with compassion, prayer, and care for those in need. If you feel called to help by making calls, please contact Kathy Williams.
Exercise Class Continues
Exercise classes will be held on Thursdays from 11 am–12 Our instructor, Delissa Hampton is there every step of the way to cheer you on to work at whatever pace you can do. All exercises can be done seated or standing position with or with the use of a chair, or a combination of both. A small donation of $3 to $5 is suggested but not expected for each class you attend. Hope to see you soon. Can’t make it to class, but want to join us from home? Join us on ZOOM. You must be able to access the internet by computer, I-pad, or phone with video availability. If you would like to participate or have any questions, contact the office or Kathy Williams. Contact Kathy for the code to get into the class via Zoom.
