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; harden-ing of the arteries in the legs which is a strong predictor of heart disease; atrial fibril-lation or irregular heart beat which is closely tied to stroke risk; and a bone density screening, for men and women, used to as-sess the risk of osteoporosis. Register for a Wellness Package which includes 4 vascu-lar tests and osteoporosis screening from $149 ($139 with our member discount). All five screenings take 60-90 minutes to com-plete. There are three ways to register for this event and to receive a $10 dis-count off any package priced above $129, please call toll-free 1-888-653-6441 or visit http://lifelinescreening.com/communitycircle or text the word circle
to 797979.
It is our desire for every person to become a disciple of Jesus Christ who loves God and
people. We believe this happens best in a biblical community in which people are learning
God’s Word, sharing the good news of Jesus Christ, ministering to each other, and serving
together. At FBC, Sunday School allows you to connect with people in a similar season of life
as you seek to live a lifestyle that looks more and more like Jesus. Join us on Sundays at 9
a.m. to find a class that is right for you. For more info, pick up a Sunday School brochure outside
the church office. Questions? Call 205-625-3191 or email Andrea at [email protected].
