Have you ever wondered what relationship the Old Testament has in your life?All the women of the parish are invited to join us in May for our new women's Bible Study, "Beholding His Glory," a nine week program that focuses on Old Testament Scripture and how it leads directly to our Lord, Jesus Christ. From Adam and Eve, Noah, Joseph, Moses and Joshua, we'll see that God had a plan for his Son, a plan to rescue all mankind. From the very beginning stories portray our need for love, forgiveness, redemption and completion. In the videos and small group discussions we'll explore how to incorporate the lessons into our personal lives today, always with the goal of forging a closer personal relationship with Jesus. We will meet each Monday beginning May 2: Daytime sessions in the classrooms at church from 1pm to 2:30 pm - Evening sessions in the classrooms at church from 6:30 to 8pm OR Zoom beginning Tuesday, May 3 from 7pm to 8:30 pm.

Sacred Heart of Jesus offers balance, strength training and light to moderate aerobic activity classes. This is our "Fit 'n Balance," classes offered Tuesday and Thursdays at 10:00 am and 11:30 am in the Lower Hall. We also offer Chair Stretch & Balance and Mat Yoga on those same days at 1:00 pm. Chair Stretch & Balance is in the Lower Hall and Mat Yoga is in the Classrooms A&B. Having good balance is an important way to prevent falls, but there are many benefits to regular exercise, especially as we age. Physical activity along with a healthy diet are two of the most important lifestyle factors that determine whether or not we age gracefully. Finding an exercise program that is fun and engaging is essential if we want to create a lasting habit. Senior citizens should choose an exercise program that they can continue to do over the course of time as their bodies change.
