Health & Wellness
"Christ's intention for us is so clear. I came that they might have life, and might have it abundantly" John 10:10
The Health Ministry program at First Congregational is spirited and active. Our Minister of Health and Wellness, Kathleen Zagata, is a Clinical Nurse Specialist with a unique ability to lead us in both caring for ourselves, and for each other.
Our Christian tradition makes clear that Jesus was not just about fixing a diseased person, his intent was to heal in God s name and to restore each person to fullness and community. Thus health ministry is based on a whole person model- mind, body, emotion and spirit- encouraging us to become the person God is calling us to be at each developmental stage.
Health Ministry Sponsored ProgramsThroughout the year, the Health Ministry Group sponsors lectures and programs geared toward healthy living and wellness. Past Health Ministry Programs have included: If you have a topic you'd like to see explored, contact Kathleen Zagata. |
The Health Ministry program works to encourage our entire church community to enhance our faith by living the connection between wellness and spirituality, both personally and in ministry to others. We do this in a variety of ways, through health promotion activities, healthy living reminders, health and wellness speakers and programs, and by organizing ourselves to care of those in our community who need a helping hand. Part of our health ministry is to explore the link between wellness, illness, and spirituality. Wellness programs include food, fitness and fun!
