HAPPENINGS WITH KID’S JUNCTION
Lifeline Screening – 09/23/2016
Life Line Screening, a leading provider of community-based preventive health screenings, is pleased to offer a preventive health event at Galax First United Methodist Church on 9/23/2016. Five screenings will be offered that scan for potential health problems related to: blocked arteries which is a leading cause of stroke; abdominal aortic aneurysms which can lead to a ruptured aorta; hardening of the arteries in the legs which is a strong predictor of heart disease; atrial fibrillation or irregular heart beat which is closely tied to stroke risk; and a bone density screening, for men and women, used to assess the risk of osteoporosis. Register for a Wellness Package which includes 4 vascular tests and osteoporosis screening from $149 ($139 with our member discount). All five screenings take 60-90 minutes to complete. In order to register for this event and to receive a $10 discount off any package priced above $129, please call 1-888-653-6441 or visit www.lifelinescreening.com/community-partners/.

Charge Conference
We have a date of October 25th for our 2016 Charge Conference. This is the yearly meeting of the church where church officers are elected and the pastor’s salary is set for the next year. Our new District Superintendent, the Rev. Kimberly M. Goddard, will be continuing the tradition of having Cluster Charge Conferences where several different churches come together. This is a good way to hear what other churches are doing as well as having a time of fellowship with other United Methodist believers.
However getting ready for Charge Conferences takes a lot of work; all Committee Chairs need to schedule a Committee meeting in September. To plan your ministry for next year as well as submit your budget request for the Finance Committee. If we do not hear from any committee their budget will remain the same as this year.
Also the instrument for you to volunteer to serve, or to nominate someone to serve, will be available soon. Please prayerfully consider where God wants you to be in ministry next year. If you are currently serving and do not wish to do so next year, fill out the form, and return it to the pastor. If I do not hear from you, you will be elected again for the next year.
As we have fewer and fewer active members, please do consider how you can serve.
