This week we are going to take a look at biblical diet advice. Diet advice? You read this right.

I think most people think of their faith as a spiritual matter. It is an activity of the head and heart. And yes, we are supposed to act on our faith’s conviction to show and practice things like compassion, acceptance, generosity, and unconditional love.

I don’t think that we extend that spirituality to some of the daily activities we do every day and over and over again like how we use our bodies, what we eat, what wellness choices we make each and every day, and the things we can and should do to stay healthy. I don’t think we necessarily think of them as spiritual disciplines - food, exercise, sleep, and caring for our mental health.

These things get little or no thought and consideration as we live into our faith.

I would be happy if I am wrong in this.

This week we are talking about the Daniel Diet. If you have never heard of it, I am not surprised. If you want to know what it is, come and join us for worship at 9:30 am in person or on Facebook Live.

Flower Chart

We are reinstating the Flower Chart. If you would like to bring in flowers for the altar on a particular Sunday, please fill out the chart located on the wall just outside the copy room and admin office.

If you plan to have flowers delivered to the church for a Sunday Service please use the florist Judy's Village Flowers in Foxboro, MA. Their phone number is 508-543-4400. If you do not want to use Judy's Village Flowers in Foxboro, then you will be responsible for bringing the flowers yourself on Sunday Morning before the service.
