In our culture, we often take food for granted, eating too much and too fast and doing other things while eating. We select the wrong foods which fail to give us proper nourishment as God intended. To many, food is the enemy-a cruel addiction that must be overcome. Addressing these issues, Suntree UM Women present this study on March 15 & 29 (2 sessions)
10 am to 12:30 pm, Rm. 101/102. Free! Study books/$7.Contacts: Pat Phillips (255-8374) or Ann McCandless (253-6243). Join us as we explore how we are nurtured by food and all the ways food touches our lives.
