March Meeting

March is a busy month, not only does Daylight Saving time begin, but Easter is early this year.  Spring starts on March 20th and many children will be out of school for spring break.  With all everyone has going this month I hope that you will make some time for our March WOSJ meeting.

This month we are so pleased to have as our guest speaker Joe Carson.  He will be sharing with us about good nutrition and excercise.  Usually this is the type of teaching and information you would expect to hear in January when we make those New Year resolutions to try harder to lose those extra pounds and shape up for our health.  I say it is never to late to start.  Of course, the sooner the better.

Joe is a high-energy, very personable 34-year old with a compelling story and multiple professional certifications.  His own success story is nothing short of remarkable.  He believes in the life-changing power of good health, proper nutrition and fitness.  Joe is Barbara Hood’s personal trainer and we all can see how well she has improved her health by taking off those extra pounds and has strengthened her body with good nutritional habits. 

Joe has promised to keep the information simple and short.  He will be both interesting and informative.  You won’t want to miss this meeting!

Since the meeting is not a must for women’s interest only, we have opened the meeting to include men and youth.

Please sign up at the WOSJ’s table located in the foyer starting March 2nd after the second service .

Remember your Secret Sis and continue to shower her with cards of encouragement.

I pray that you all will have a blessed Easter, starting with Holy Week!  You are blessed to be a blessing.

AND NOW:

The Lord bless you and watch, guard, and keep you;

 The Lord make His face to shine upon and enlighten you and be gracious (kind, merciful, and giving favor) to you;

 The Lord lift up His [approving] countenance upon you and give you peace (tranquility of heart and life continually).

Numbers 6:24-27 (Amplified Bible)
