"And whoever does not carry their cross and follow me cannot be my disciple."
Luke 14:27
Discipleship, following Jesus, is hard work. It can be a painful process filled with difficulty, uncertainty and struggle. Having said this, each one of us is called to just that reality. We are called to follow the one who goes before us, knowing that we will forever be changed in the process of following. Today we are beginning a sermon series that will be an invi-tation into that journey, into that process of growing in our discipleship, and today we'll be counting the cost. We do not follow Jesus blindly, or without knowing what's in store, but rather knowing and accepting the challenge. Will you join us for the journey? Will you allow yourself to be chiseled, shaped and molded? Will you take up your cross and follow him?
What We Believe
...the living core of the Christian faith is revealed in scripture, illumined by tradition, vivified in personal experience, and confirmed by reason.
...the one God we worship exists fundamentally within a community of the three per-sons of Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
…God’s son, Jesus, came to live among us as fully divine and fully human. His life, death, and resurrection points to and fulfills the good news of the freedom from sin and death, which we proclaim.
...we share one mission with Christians throughout time, to make disciples of Jesus Christ.
...it is into community (koinonia) that we have been called to coexist and through this community that we are able to truly manifest the body of Christ.
…wherever you are on your journey, we are here for one another!
“In Essentials Unity, In Non-Essentials Liberty, In All Things Charity.”

THE PERFECT GIFT THIS VALENTINE’S DAY IS THE GIFT OF HEART HEALTH. Along with Valentine’s Day, February marks American Heart Month, a great
time to commit to a healthy lifestyle and make small changes that can lead
to a lifetime of heart health. Heart disease is the leading cause of death for
men and women. www.heart.org
Did you know that uncontrolled blood pressure is the leading cause of heart
attacks and strokes? Unfortunately it often has no signs or symptoms.
The Center for Disease Control is promoting a national effort called “Million Hearts” to prevent 1 million heart attacks and strokes by 2017.
KNOW YOUR NUMBERS Ask your doctor each year for a Lipid panel to check your cholesterol levels, the good (HDL) number should be 50 or higher, and bad (LDL) number should be less than 100. There is another bad fat called triglycerides which should be 150 or lower.
KNOW THE SIGNS Women don’t always have the same classic symptoms as men. Men might feel a crushing chest pain which can radiate down one or both arms. Women might expe-rience a squeezing chest pain or feeling of fullness. She might also have back, neck or jaw pain. Both men and women can have shortness of breath, nausea, stomach pain or pressure. It might also be described as “terrible indigestion. Light headiness and breaking out in a cold sweat might also occur. Overwhelming fatigue can often affect women. If you experience any of these symptoms don’t delay call 911.
MAKE CONTROL YOUR GOAL You can check your blood pressure at a drugstore, at your doctor’s office , and by a Parish Nurse on Wednesdays at our church, or at home with using an automatic or manual monitor. Take your medications as prescribed.
Watch your sodium (salt) intake. A daily total of one teaspoon or 2400mg. Read labels. Avoid processed meats or canned foods with salt. All of these can raise blood pressure.
Eat more fresh or frozen veggies and fruits.
Quit smoking.
Get some form of exercise.
If you experience any of these symptoms above, don’t try to delay or
diagnose yourself get immediate help. Call 911. It’s better to be alive
than a statistic.
Take control of your health! Linda
