FAN: Church Health Initiatives

Did you miss the FAN Kick-Off Dinner? Well there's no time like the present to learn more about FAN (Faith Activity Nutrition) initiatives at St. Andrews Parish UMC!

FAN is a faith-based program that is inspiring churches like ours to create healthier communities. As part of this program, we're encouraging church members to...

• Become physically active at a moderate intensity (e.g., brisk walking) for at least 150 minutes per week
• Eat more fruits and vegetables (aim for 2 cups of fruit and 3+ cups of vegetables each day)
• Eat more whole grain foods (e.g., whole wheat pasta and breads, brown rice, etc.)
• Eat less fat (avoid saturated and trans fats)
• Eat less salt/sodium

Several of our Sunday school classrooms and ministry groups have adopted healthy snack/meal options, and our Thumbs Up exercise group has resumed. Thumbs Up sessions are the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Thursday of each month at 1:30pm.

If you have questions about FAN or ideas about how we can adopt healthier habits as a congregation, please contact the FAN Committee...
