UPCOMING SPECIAL EVENTS
Mark your calendars for September 23 for an Evensong celebration at 4 p.m. followed by An Old-Fashioned Church Picnic, sponsored by the Giving Committee. The picnic will be held in the Parish Hall (so leave your lawn chairs at home), and we invite you to bring your family, and a dish to share (salad, casserole, or dessert). Burgers, hot dogs, condiments, chips, and drinks will be provided. There will be activities for children, and special entertainment by Robin Luke and Sarah Smith. There will be no mention of pledging. The purpose of this picnic is to bring together the community, engage in fellowship, and have a good time.
-Life Line Screening: Life Line Screening, a leading provider of community-based preventive health screenings, will offer their affordable, non-invasive and painless health screenings at Christ Episcopal Church of Springfield on September 27. Five screenings will be offered that scan for potential health problems related to: blocked arteries which is a leading cause of stroke; abdominal aortic aneurysms which can lead to a ruptured aorta; hardening of the arteries in the legs which is a strong predictor of heart disease; atrial fibrillation or irregular heartbeat which is closely tied to stroke risk; and a bone density screening, for men and women, used to assess the risk of osteoporosis. Register for a Wellness Package which includes 4 vascular tests and osteoporosis screening from $149 ($139 with our member discount). All five screenings take 60-90 minutes to complete. In order to register for this event and to receive a $10 discount off any package priced above $129, please call 1-888-653-6441 or visit www.lifelinescreening.com/communitycircle or text the word circle to 797979.
