Better Health: Exercise Your Faith
Are you making New Year’s resolutions? Will they last past January? Instead of making a resolution, so easily broken, make a life-style change that will benefit the rest of your life.
The Exercise Your Faith group meets each week for a half hour of light aerobic exercise followed by discussions on living and eating healthy.
Drop in and try us out. Learn more here. |
