Mind, body and spirit all work together as a whole.
A healthy diet and consistent exercise speak to spiritual obedience.
A healthy body impacts the spirit in a positive way and helps one to love God, oneself and others.
The mission of the Health and Wellness Ministry is to help the congregation and community care for themselves and one another…to attain, maintain and/or regain the best possible WHOLE-person health and wellness of body, mind, and spirit -- following the example of Christ and guided by the Holy Scriptures.

Your November Challenge
Your focus is three simple, sacred practices: rest for the body, stillness for the mind, and gratitude for the heart.
Rest is not laziness; it is part of God's design. God rested on the seventh day, Jesus regularly withdrew to quiet places to pray, and Scripture invites us to:
Morning Practice: "Rise & Be Still" (5 minutes)
Do this before you reach for your phone. Sit on the edge of your bed or in a favorite chair, feet flat on the floor or your favorite rest position.
Evening Practice: "Lights Low, Thanks High" (5 minutes)
Rest is not laziness; it is part of God's design. God rested on the seventh day, Jesus regularly withdrew to quiet places to pray, and Scripture invites us to:
- "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:28)
- "In every thing give thanks." (1 Thessalonians 5:18)
Morning Practice: "Rise & Be Still" (5 minutes)
Do this before you reach for your phone. Sit on the edge of your bed or in a favorite chair, feet flat on the floor or your favorite rest position.
- Read your favorite scripture, quote, daily word etc.
- Intentional breathing, inhaling and exhaling and notice your breath
- Be still in the moment if your mind wonders, come back to your breath
- Name or write three things small or big that you are thankful
Evening Practice: "Lights Low, Thanks High" (5 minutes)
- Phone away, lights dim. Say, “The work of this day is done.”
- Repeat your breath practice, inhaling and exhaling
- Write three positive things from today and notice where you feel that emotion in your body
- Continue to breathe and relax and say, Thank you
