| We are proud to be a part of the Arkansas Annual Conference HolyHealthyUMC ministry. Crickett Thomas is our HolyHealthy Ministry Coordinator and she is currently planning HolyHealthy Screening Clinics at the church each 3rd Sunday of the month. Crickett offers tips for HolyHealthy living in the church bulletins each week and on the website, and is working with the MFUMC Nurture Committee to provide healthy snacks at these screenings and develop exercise programs for our community of faith. If you would like to be a part of this new ministry, you can contact Crickett by calling the church office, (479) 928-4851. |
| HolyHealthy Tips (Remember, HolyHealthy tips aren't just about your diet but about a lifestyle of living "green" and being kind to the earth that God gave us to protect and nurture.) 1. Most powdered cleansers on the market will scratch your sinks and tubs and can cut the life of a new fixture by 10-15 years. Clean with baking soda and vinegar. If you prefer commercial cleansers, use spray or foamy type cleansers. 2. If you line cookie sheets with aluminum foil, use that same foil, unwashed to cover up the plate of cookies or between layers of cookies if you store them in a tin. Did you know that if everyone could use every disposable thing twice, we'd cut our daily trash output by half? 3. Shower, fill tube with luke warm water, squeeze juice from sliced lemons into the water and throw the slices in too. Then soak in this natural astringent water. You can also use lemon juice in your hair rinse water. It removes all the soap film and oil and smells great all day. 4. Substitute imitation bacon bits for real bacon when you are making a BLT sandwich and you'll get the flavor without the fat calories. 5. After removing the "flower" ends of broccoli, slice the stems thinly and toss into a green salad or add to stir fry veggies for extra crunch and food value. 6. When you are counting fat calories, cut butter sticks into 24 same-sized pats and store in airtight container. You'll know exactly how much you use each time. 7. If you dry watermelon and cantaloupe seeds in the summer, use them to feed the wild birds in the winter. |
