A wellness program from the International Parish Nurse Resource Center based on the Exodus story. It is for children and adults of all ages and health conditions. The 8-week program encourages participants to choose three lifestyle areas they would like to improve: such as exercise, diet, sleep, prayer, time with friends, or drinking water. "Not everyone can run a marathon, even walk a mile, or get out of a chair, yet everyone can be a part of this congregational wellness initiative." The CD is $35.
