Parish Nurse Corner…
Congratulations to those families who are joining us as we Walk to Jerusalem! We are 8 weeks in, and we've already walked/run/played/climbed over 5,000 miles! This 12-week program will encourage you to increase physical activity, spiritual growth, and cultural awareness. Together we will add our weekly miles (20 minutes of exercise = 1 mile). Each week we’ll inch a little closer to Jerusalem, with our goal of reaching Jerusalem by Easter! It’s not too late to start...please pick up a packet at the Welcome Center if you would like to join us.
Regular exercise is good for any type of depression, including seasonal affective disorder (SAD). Exercising year round is good for your health, but persons who struggle with depression should speed up their exercise program before and during the winter months. Many studies on exercise and depression have concluded that exercise improves symptoms of depression. Need a challenge? Strengthen your heart and burn more calories by exercising outdoors during the cold months (but be careful!).

We have a faith-based yoga class on Mondays and Fridays
at 9:30am in the Parlor in the church basement.
Healthy Movement Class
This is a terrific exercise and fall prevention class for seniors offered in the Community Life Center on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11 - 11:30am. There is also a good sized "walking" group that meets to walk about 30 minutes before exercise begins.
