SUMMARY:Writing Postcards
DESCRIPTION:With the general election approaching\, we have decided to reignite a postcard writing campaign to encourage registered voters to exercise their right to vote. To increase flexibility and hopefully attract more participants\, we will host postcard writing sessions at Peace Lutheran from 3 pm on Tuesday afternoons. \nLet Philippa E. or the Church Office know if you intend to come so Philippa knows how many postcards to order. We are also accepting donations to help cover the postage. With the recent increase in postage rates\, it costs $16.25 to mail a batch of 25 cards. \nThe group that got together earlier in the year found the sessions to be both sociable and therapeutic\, as it is a meaningful way to do something that makes a difference and can help bring about the change that we pray for. Feel free to invite your friends and neighbors. This can be a great way to introduce people to our community.

SUMMARY:Tai Chi Class
DESCRIPTION:A new Tai Chi Series began on Thursday\, August 20th. The series runs for 12 weeks\, with each lesson building on previous learning. Each class meets from 6 to 7pm in the Gathering Hall. Cost is $125 for the entire 12-week series. Contact the Church office for more information or to ask questions of our Sifu Matt Rice. \n  \nTai Chi Chuan is an ancient form of Chinese exercise dating back a thousand years to the Tang Dynasty\, originally taught only to emperors\, scholars\, and noblemen. This system of exercise has as its aim: good physical\, mental and emotional health. Its dynamic and slow movements\, combined with relaxation\, results in the development of an “intrinsic energy\,” an outer balance unattainable by any other form of physical exercise. \n  \nThis moving meditation is done in slow motion\, continuously through a varied sequence of movements and forms. It is a smooth flowing exercise\, each movement blending into the next form without pause or break; and one’s mind in complete concentration and awareness of each movement. The use of hands\, shoulder\, fingers\, feet\, legs\, knees and even eyes are brought into play in a series of coordinated\, specifically learned movements. \n  \nConsistent practice of Tai Chi improves circulation\, facilitates joint action\, stimulates the nervous system\, tones the skin and gives one an alert sense of well being in body and tranquility of the mind. Joint disease\, gastric disorders\, tension and mental strain are relieved. Tai Chi is pleasant\, pleasurable\, comfortable\, and may be done without effort or strain in a small space. No special clothing is required\, however Kung Fu slippers are recommended.
