A Healthy Move class has been described as a lifeline and "a place to come meet your new best friends." Designed to help women transition into a new phase of their lives, this class will address emotional, spiritual, social and physical needs associated with changes. The cozy atmosphere encourages interacting with others while learning about each other, our community, and the Bible. The group will have lunch together - brown bag, potluck and dining out. Field trip(s) are planned. Two yearly classes are offered: February (spring class) or September (fall class). Each class is 9 weeks and meets on Wednesday mornings from 9:00 a.m. - noon.
