Body Recall: This group meets in the multipurpose room at 9:00 am for an hour every Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. Health and fitness cannot be bought. They must be earned! Health and fitness cannot be stored. They are by-products of continuous lifestyle choices. CHOOSE BODY RECALL! Body Recall exercises are possible for people in all conditions and at any age. It is a program of slow stretching movements that use the full range of motion in all joints of the body to improve flexibility and gently strengthen muscles. The side effects that occur through regular exercise are amazing! You are cordially invited to join the Body Recall group. Wear comfortable clothes, sensible shoes and socks and join us for fitness, fun and fellowship starting each year in September. See you there.
Lunch Bunch: This group meets in the fellowship room at 11:00 am every third Wednesday of the month. Bring a dish and join us for devotions, fellowship and good food!

Sunday School Bible Study: This class meets in the library on Sunday mornings at 9:15 am. We are studying the NIV Standard Lesson Commentary for 2007-2008 The spring quarter theme is God, the People, and the Covenant (Chronicles, Nehemiah, Daniel, Haggai, and Luke), which explores our covenant relationship with God. The lessons will focus on one of God's covenants. The people are to be faithful to their covenant with the Lord, who in turn faithfully keeps his covenant promises. The summer quarter theme will be Images of Christ (Hebrews, Gospels, James). The images are word pictures. They record sharply the real person and work of Christ. Following images from Hebrews and the Gospels, James presents images to help us put hands and feet to our faith.
