“STAYWELL GROUP RETURNS. Rev. Jon Siehl is offering a seven week holistic health group beginning January 31, 2010. The purpose of the group is to enhance our health by looking at how our physical, emotional, social, intellectual and spiritual sides of ourselves interact with each other in healthy and unhealthy ways. Participants are invited to identify something they would like to change about themselves to work on as a goal thought the seven weeks. Each session lasts 75-90 minutes. Tentative meeting time is following church on Sundays. "Teens, adults and seniors are welcome to participate." Sign up in the office if you plan to attend.

 

REMINDER! Staff and Committees Annual Reports were due December 31, 2009. The office is still missing quite a few.

The meal consists of your choice of soup, a salad and dessert is optional. We prepare to feed 30-40 people. This is a great way to serve the Lord as well as your fellow Presbyterians.
