CPR & First-aid Class
People are needed with certification of CPR & First aid. Heartsaver, CPR with AED CLASS & First-aid Class by the American Heart Association will be offered October 10 or 11 form 5:30 – 9:30 PM for CPR, then October 12, 1-5 PM for First aid. The class takes about 7.5 – 8 hours divided into two 4 hour sessions. One on CPR the other first-aid. The certification lasts for two years. Books are distributed for reading two weeks prior to class. For safety reasons, we try to have at least one person in each sub-organization within our church. We never know when an emergency may occur. Please contact Kathy Williams if you are interested in taking the class. If you are already certified, it would be helpful to add you to our list. Thanks for your consideration.
Exercise Class Continues
Exercise classes are held on Wednesday’s from 10:30 -11:30 A.M. in Fellowship Hall or the West room. 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 in a seated or standing position with or with the use of a chair, or a combination of both. We will also be meeting on the first Thursday of the month September 5, from 10:30 -11:30 A.M. 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.
