Outreach Meeting – Part 2!

lisat11 — Thu, 08 Mar 2012 18:12:24 +0000

Led by Faith to Love, Learn and SERVE!

In February, we held Outreach Interest meetings to begin to brainstorm where we want to take Kenwood’s Outreach and what the Mission Field will look and feel like in 2012. Many great ideas were generated, but in order for Kenwood to truly serve those in our community and around the world, we need your help to narrow down our selections.

Please plan to join us on Sunday, March 18, at 9:00 am to review some of the ideas and vote for those that you feel we at Kenwood should focus our energy on. We want and need your opinion to ensure that not only we have your support, but that you also feel it provides an opportunity for ALL AGES to participate in service activities. If you have any questions or to confirm your interest in attending, contact Debra at thew8s@comcast.net or at 752-7953.

How is Your Blood Pressure?

lisat11 — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 18:09:41 +0000

1 in 3 Americans has high blood pressure. Left untreated, it can lead to other serious health problems. Most of the time, high blood pressure is “silent”—which means you may feel no symptoms. That’s why people can have high blood pressure and not even know it. The first step is to find out if you have high blood pressure. Our Parish Nurse, Barbara Huster, R.N., will be taking blood pressure readings this Sunday, February 5, after worship in the Fellowship Hall. There is no cost and no registration is needed.
