THE DANIEL PLAN is a groundbreaking healthy lifestyle program founded on biblical principles and focused on The Essentials: Faith, Food, Fitness, Focus and Friends. The program offers an innovative approach to achieving a healthy lifestyle in which people get better together by optimizing their health in each of these life areas. Each essential supports and influences the others, offering a practical step-by-step approach for anyone to follow. This is based on a six-week series from Rick Warren, Dr. Daniel Amen and Dr. Mark Hyman. It is an innovative approach to achieving a healthy lifestyle that is both transformational and sustainable because it is about abundant choices, not diet deprivation. If you are interested in this life changing study, please join us for an informational meeting on Sept. 8th in the church parlor at 7pm. If you have questions, please contact Tanya Kivett, (cell) 817-9984. METHODIST MEN S FALL GOLF TOURNAMENT!
