Molly will join us on Tuesday morning to elaborate on each of the six domains of an optimum life – physical, emotional, purposeful, spiritual, social, and intellectual. The focus will be on what you can do right now to change certain behaviors and make lifestyle changes. The goal is that these changes will promote wellness into your own life and the lives of others. This session is part of our RUMC C3 ministry that is our Proactive Approach to Caring.
So that we have adequate materials, please let me know that you can join us, mstokes@rumc.com or 770-261-1741.
Box Tops and Flip Tops, etc.
Keep on bringing in those accumulated Box Tops for Education for Red Bird Missions and flip tops for Ronald McDonald Houses! And remember to set up accounts and use your purchases at Publix and Amazon Smile to support. Murphy Harpst.
Why Do We Want Boxtops for Red Bird Missions?
The United Methodist Conference has established this fully accredited Christian grade school through high school to educate poor children in Appalachia. It has a 97% graduation rate. United Methodist Churches all over the country collect and send Boxtops For Education so the schools can buy needed items. (As you save yours and bring them in, please check the expiration dates!)
