Health and Wellness


PickleBall

Pickleball is a paddle sport that combines many elements of tennis, badminton, and ping-pong for all ages and skill levels. The rules are simple, and the game is easy for beginners to learn, but it can develop into a fast-paced, competitive game for experienced players.

Newcomers are encouraged to come on Thursday nights at 5:30 pm for beginner games. Contact John Hegg with any questions. Please call the church receptionist at (605) 336-3734 to confirm the event is occurring.


Foot Clinic

Do you have diabetes, neuropathy, or other foot ailments?  Sanford foot care nurses will screen, assess, soak, trim your toenails, buff your feet, and do a gentle massage while educating you on the proper care and treatment of your feet. The Healthy Feet Community Foot Care Clinic is held each month on the fourth Tuesday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Parish Meeting Room.

The cost is $30. Scholarships may be available if cost is of concern. Appointments are necessary; please call (605) 336-3734 to schedule an appointment today.


Pastoral Counseling

General counseling by the pastoral care staff is available to all members and friends of the congregation without cost. All counseling sessions are confidential. If specialized counseling services are needed, the pastoral staff will provide information and resources. For more information, call (605) 336-3734.
