Life Line Screening

/in /by

We are pleased to host this Life Line Screening event on 1/28/2016 at Galax FUMC. Do you have high cholesterol or high blood pressure? Have members of your family suffered from these ailments? Do you have a poor diet? If you answer “yes” to any of these questions, you may want to consider being screened for your risk of stroke through the services of Life Line Screening. Life Line Screening uses ultrasound technology to view the plaque build-up in your cartoid arteries, the main arteries that carry blood to the brain. Blockages in these arteries are a leading cause of stroke. 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…

UMW News

Many thanks to all who participated in and supported our UMW Sunday. This is always a big day in the life of our unit. Our next big project is the Angel Tree. We hope to have the tree up sometime during the first week in November. That will give you almost a month to shop for your “Angel”. We would like all the gifts back no later than Sunday, November 29th. We will distribute the gifts the first three days of that week. Thanks in advance for your help with this project. Our next meeting will be Tuesday, November 10th. Ruth Sizemore is in charge of the program. We will have more information closer to the day.

Should you want to fill a shoebox but cannot come to the church to pick one up, please let Sandy in the church office (236-9937), or someone from the Agape Sunday School Class, know and we’ll make sure to get you one.
