Health Ministry April Update
The CEC Health Ministry is gearing up for an exciting and active spring and summer, and we hope that people of all ages will take part! Some of the great events we have coming up are:
Come and join us for our next CEC Health Ministry Meeting on Thursday, April 18th at 5:30 p.m. We will discuss more plans for upcoming events and how we can best help our fellow parishioners reach their health and wellness goals. Email us for the Zoom link - health@christchurchcolumbia.org
Blood pressure checks and 1-to-1 consults with various pharmacists will begin to occur monthly later this spring. We are aiming for providing this service on the 3rd Sundays of each month in the Old Brick Sacristy from 9am-9:30am and will provide a starting date soon (probably April 21st), so stay tuned!
June 1st at 8:00 a.m. at Hunt Valley Towne Centre in Cockeysville - NAMI Walk - The Walk itself is 2.5 miles, though there is a shorter route as well this year that’s a little less than a mile. The best way to sign up as a group would be to register as a team! A team can be 2 to 200 people and registration is completely free. As for donations, you are always welcome to self-donate to your personal page or your team page! Just note that only individual fundraisers who raise $100 or more will receive a t-shirt on Walk Day - if your team has 5 people and collectively raise $500, that does not mean you would get 5 shirts. Each team member would have to raise $100 to get a t-shirt. See link and map attached. http://www.namiwalks.org/mdfaq
Our Cycling for Health and Fellowship ministry is scheduled to begin the spring rides in early May, so get your bikes ready! All ages and skill levels are more than welcome - and encouraged! - to join us, And on some rides, The BBC (Baltimore Bicycle Club) Instructional Rides group may participate with us! For more information, please speak with Diane Phillips-LaGuerre on Sundays or email cycling@christchurchcolumbia.org
