First Place 4 Health Meeting Time and Place

What the First Place Program Involves:
First Place is a Christ-centered health program with an emphasis on weight loss, life-balance and long-term lifestyle change.  It is a national program held at thousands of churches in the U.S. (www.firstplace.org).  We will be doing Bible Study, memorizing scripture, eating healthy, exercising and encouraging each other once a week in our small group meeting.  Each meeting will last 1 hour and 30 minutes, and will include nutritional information, class discussion, Bible study and prayer, along with accountability of a weekly weigh-in.  At First Place 4 Health we learn how to be victorious over past eating patterns and to commit our minds - and ultimately our bodies - to God. Health Benefits:

 -  Weight loss, resulting from a balanced plan consisting of healthy food and exercise.
 -   A proven health plan that benefits those with health concerns such as hypertension, heart disease, cancer and diabetes.

 Discipleship:

 -  Christ-centered lifestyle with Bible study, prayer, Scripture reading and memorization.
-  Accountability through small-group support
