Rally Day Roundup and Pot Luck!

Kids, Youth, and Adults are needed on September 18^th!  There will be Fun for all Ages!  We are kicking off our Fall programing with a Western Theme.  Everyone is invited to wear their best western apparel, and come with a readiness to connect with God, with one another and to have a great time.  Rally Day Round-Up will give us an opportunity to all gather, celebrate being back after our busy summer and to find out about all the ministry opportunities for the Fall. After worship there will be a meal, meat will be provided, please bring a dish to pass, and of course there will be games!!!  Anybody have a square dancing skirt I could borrow – just kidding (I think).

Yee Haw, see you there!!

Leap of Faith: In Body, Mind, and Spirit

In 2010, my health had hit rock bottom. I took a giant leap of faith and created the following mantra for myself: Health and wholeness in Body, Mind, and Spirit. I did not have a plan, just these words. But I knew I needed to change my course, and with God’s help I have and continue to repeat these words to myself.  My path has led in many directions but 284 pounds lighter today is mind blowing to me. I am not an expert in health and wholeness, but I am on the journey and am inviting others to journey with me using some guidelines. There are a few things I have learned along the way:

1. God is with me always.

2. There is no magic pill, diet, or surgery – it all takes hard work. Good nutrition takes effort.

3. I must move my body intentionally 30 minutes a day.

4. I need to have a healthy plan for my career and finances too.

5. I must surround myself with people that will help me reach my goals.

6. Growing my skills and knowledge is a life time journey.

7. I am worthy of the time and effort to have a healthy life style.

I am going to start an accountability group open to anyone. I dream of a place where people will come, find God, support, and fellowship as they authentically seek health and wholeness for their lives. I want to give back and help others. I am 19 pounds from my goal weight, but I also know that I will always battle addition issues around food, and I am not alone. If you are taking your own Leap of Faith and want an accountability group to help you along the way, come on Wednesday nights at 6:15 pm. We will meet for 1/2 hour in my office. If this time does not work for you or you have questions, please contact me.

Blessings,

Rev. Mary
