FEBRUARY MISSION OF THE MONTH – HEART MONTH In observance of Heart Month, we encourage you to donate blood at the Red Cross office or as a part of a community blood drive near your work or home. You can visit www.redcrossblood.org and type in your zip code in the blue box on the top right of the page to find a drive near you. Our church is partnering to host two upcoming blood drives during the summer: July 21 with the SV Rotary Club, and August 6 with WIS-TV. Mark your calendars and watch for more details as those dates draw near. There are many opportunities to help others who need blood. It takes only a few minutes to make the difference between life and death for someone in need.

This month, learn about heart health for you and your family. Heart disease is one of the leading causes of disability and death in the country. Prevention and intervention can reverse this trend. Lifestyle changes are key. The earlier we begin healthy habits, the more effective our efforts will be. Learn about diet, exercise, and other contributors to heart health and heart disease. Take steps to improve habits. Teach your children these habits early and keep them a part of your family’s daily routine. We are called by Scripture to treat our bodies as holy, as a testament to the influence of God and Christ in our lives. During Heart Month, let us resolve to take care of our bodies as we are instructed to do. And let us give to others so that they can live and thrive.
