This is a terrific exercise and fall prevention class for seniors offered in the Community Life Center on Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays from 11 - 11:30am. There is also a good sized "walking" group that meets to walk about 30 minutes before exercise begins.

Walk to Jerusalem
The Walk to Jerusalem is an imaginary walk. It encourages increased physical activity, spiritual growth and cultural awareness through a virtual tour to Jerusalem.
Walking was first mentioned in the Bible in Genesis 3:8, “Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day.” It was while walking in the garden that God typically spoke to Adam and Eve. How meaningful for us to walk through our neighborhoods, through our parks and through our communities while talking to our Creator.
Our joints need movement to maintain good range of motion. The benefits of walking are numerous. Regular exercise can prevent depression, lengthen lifespan, lower stress levels, relieve arthritis and back pain, strengthen muscles, bones and joints and improve sleep.
The walk is for everyone, all ages, all shapes and sizes and all fitness levels. Everything counts, jogging, walking, swimming, biking, gym class, vacuuming, yoga, playing basketball etc. Watch for extra challenges to earn bonus miles during the 12 weeks.
20 minutes of any continuous exercise counts as 1 mile.
You will log your miles daily then turn them in on a slip of paper in the jar provided by the “Walk to Jerusalem” map in the Narthex or email them to WalktoJerusalem625@gmail.com.
Our total congregational miles will be tallied weekly and you can watch our progress on our map. So you will know how far we went and where we stopped to visit. You will also receive the virtual tour information by email or at the welcome center.
We will begin our 12 week journey on January 7, 2018 and end on Easter Sunday, April 1, 2018. Look for weekly devotions and information on places we “pass through” and other encouragements and motivations.
Information will be available at the welcome center or by email WalktoJerusalem625@gmail.com. You can talk to Brenda Buus if you have questions.
