Good Saturday morning all!

Here's this week's homework assignments for those that missed out on class!


Bible Study: Week Five

Memorize Bible Study Week Five Memory Verse

Stress-Related Eating – Member’s Guide, pg. 86-87

Simple Ideas for Healthy Living book – pg. 21-22

Also, our instructor from Holy Yoga was unable to come today (her husband was coming back from Iraq this weekend!), so I will see if I can reschedule her for two weeks from today. I believe we have a Pilates class coming our way this next weekend (thank you Mary!).

Don't forget about Skateland on Monday night 6 - 8 pm!

This week's Memory Verse was from 1 Peter 5:8. "Be self-controlled & alert. Your enemy, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion eager to devour you." - or at least a close translation! :)

During today's Bible Study discussion, I remembered this video about lions that I was really fascinated with...how the lion's victims fight back. Pretty amazing video....

Fun Time at Skateland!!

Mark your calendars all!
Invite your family and friends!
Get ready to relive your childhood!

Monday night - April 27th from 6 - 8 pm, join us at Skateland as we try to make it around the rink and not fall! And, no Pat, no roller derby moves will be allowed...

Monday nights are Christian Night at Skateland - located on Ray Rd. just west of Alma School. Admission is $1 and skate rental is $2 ($3 for the fancy skates).

So come have fun and show your family just how much fun getting active can be!

See you there!

"The Middle"

Pastor Mark had a great sermon this past weekend on the crowds in Jerusalem (and how they welcomed Jesus with shouts of Hosanna! only to demand that he be crucified a week later).

What he focused on in the sermon was the concept of 'the middle' - with examples of things like when you start an exercise program, the beginning is easy - the end is easy - it's 'the middle' that gets tough...

Pretty much hits the nail on the head with First Place - and that's where resoluteness comes into play, where determination, and enjoying the journey as much as possible comes into play.

Missed the sermon? Here it is...

Now this is exercise I can get into...

Why can't life be like this - one big musical number...looks like a LOT of fun...

This is a pretty powerful video - what demons do we deal with everyday? What can we do with the power of Christ with us every single step of the way?

Cat Exercise!

These guys inspire me (or just make me dizzy...)...
