Posted on. Thursday, January 05, 2012

Do you need assistance making a New Beginning in 2012? Make plans to attend the Orientation for our bible Based First Place 4 Health total wellness Program to hear how a support group can help you make those changes you need to make to lead a balance life. The first orientation will take place on Tuesday, January 17 at 7:00 PM in Room 10 of the Center and again on Sunday, January 22 at 10:00 AM in Room 6 of the Center.
The First Place program is designed to help you learn how to live a balanced life by providing information in areas of nutrition exercising, managing stress, and most importantly, ways to develope a vibrant spiritual life.
The BIble Study for this upcoming session will be A New Beginning. This bible study will offer inspiration and motivation to help you deal with any issues of insecurity or failure-especially as they relate to meeting your weight-loss goals. When times get tough and things are off track, it is easy to allow disappointment to lead you to abandon your aspirations for living a life in balance. However, you can learn to cope with setbacks and regret in a way that pushes you toward succes instead of dragging you down? A NEW BEGINNING will help you explore 10 key scriptural principles to help you stand strong in your commitment to live the life God is calling you to live- a life of obedience, balance and victory!
