Congregation's
Exercise Program |
Many of us have purchased
pedometers to track the amount we walk and are amazed at the
distance we walk just in our normal daily routines. Our Parish
Nurse, Becky Stauffer, would
like to track your exercise to see what we can accomplish as a
congregation.
We have a conversion chart to
assign mileage numbers to various types of exercise; so send us the
time of the exercise of your choice. You can send your information
in a variety of ways: by email to Becky Stauffer at
kymoore560@aol.com, call 273-4455 or leave a note in the Parish
Nurse box in the Church Office.
There are copies of the
booklet “Just Move” from the American Heart Association in
Fellowship Hall by the office door that can give you ideas on
getting started.

Disciple Women
Fellowship......
|
| Our purpose is to provide opportunities for
spiritual growth, enrichment, education and creative ministries to
enable women to develop a sense of personal responsibility for the whole
mission of the Church of Jesus Christ.
Group meetings are held monthly, in six groups, to
accommodate women who work and/or have personal obligations.
General Meetings (composed of the six groups) meet on the third
Wednesday of the month eleven times a year for luncheons or coffee.
Worship, study and fellowship are the agenda for the meetings.
Service projects are completed throughout the year.
Women who accept the purpose or mission of the fellowship are
automatically members of the DWF.
