FAITH AND HEALTH
God’s salvation in Christ involves our whole existence, our whole body and soul. Life is therefore a gift from God. We are called to affirm this gift and take good care of our bodies.
Studies have proven that adults who attended weekly religious services, and those who prayed or did daily devotions were 40% less likely to suffer from high blood pressure. In another study, adults who attended weekly religious services had lower death rates that those who did not; this was especially so for those who felt they had good social support. The author of all life is our Father, and what a privilege to care for this life!
What can I do to Enhance both my Faith and Health?

God is the author and sustainer of true wholeness and wellbeing. A balance in our life is crucial. If you have any health issues or interests you would like to talk about, please contact one of our Parish Nurses. Thank you and God Bless.
