Family Meal Challenge

noreply@blogger.com (Women's Resource Center:) — Mon, 14 May 2012 16:48:00 +0000

The Women's Resource Center recently hosted a Family Meal Challenge! program at the Sage Avenue location. This program was put on by Sharon Fruh, PhD, RN, FNP-BC, an assistant professor at the University of South Alabama (USA) College of Nursing. Dr. Fruh's expertise is in family meal research. The purpose of the Family Meal Challenge! program is to empower individuals to eat healthy meals together as a family. This program provides participants with helpful strategies to help them with planning, preparation, and communication at the table.

The first class was a two-hour class at the Women's Resource Center at the end of March on the Benefits of Family Meals and Planning and Healthy Meals. She brought Chef Dianne Arnold to serve the class members a delicious, healthy meal she prepared in a slow cooker. Chef Arnold shared her recipe with the class. Lots of great cooking-related door prizes were given away along with notebooks full of resources related to each class.

Dr. Fruh returned April 27th to teach The Power of Atmosphere, and Jennifer Dierking, an expert on freezer cooking, joined her to talk on How to Make Healthy Meals a Reality through Freezer Cooking. Again, Chef Dianne treated participants to a tasty home-cooked meal, and recipes and door prizes such as Crock-pots were given away.

Dr. Fruh will be returning to wrap up this great program with the clients of the Women's Resource Center in June.

The Great Turnaround ≈ Because Life Matters

“Then the Lord God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed into him the breath of Life, and man became a living being.”

Genesis 2:7

On Thursday night, March 22, we had another God encounter at our fundraising Gala. Bridget Van Means, from Dr. Bruce Wilkinson’s Great Turnaround Team, came to us from her pregnancy resource center in St. Louis, Missouri, and continued to open our hearts to the Father’s love for His Creation. We experienced an amazing event with over $350,000 raised. Thanks be to God! This is the “exponential growth” that is happening around our nation.
