Faith Activity Nutrition
Your Health Ministry Team has launched a new program called Faith, Activity, and
Nutrition (FAN). The mission of this program is to help church members stay spiritually
and physically well. Watch the Courier for a monthly FAN wellness message. If you are
interested in promoting wellness for our congregation, we would love to have you join
the FAN Team. Please contact Julie Vaniman RN, Faith Community Nurse at
julievaniman@comcast.net
Every Journey Starts with the First Step
For many of us, a healthy lifestyle is more of a dream than reality. Sometimes making
changes seems too hard. But the first step toward a healthy lifestyle doesn’t have to be
big. A first step can be as simple as taking the stairs instead of the elevator, or
swapping your daily candy with a piece of fruit. Once you decide to improve your
health, start with something easy. Every change after that will seem easier. Be a FAN
for your health! Small steps can begin today. Click on the links below to get more wellness
information & a healthy recipe.

Suggestion- let's start with Sun. morning coffee hour! No sweet treats. Healthy snacks. Come up with a list of alternative foods and ask the various coffee hour teams to try it. Sliced apples, oranges, bananas, grapes, carrot sticks, whole wheat crackers. What alternatives can you suggest.
nWe could try it for a couple of weeks, then continue it for Lent.
n Thanks for the recipes, keep them coming.
