Have we got a plan for you!!! Research has now shown that exercise can help slow the progression of many neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s. Specifically, Rock Steady Boxing Program is now being offered every Monday and Wednesday here at BPBC as a joint effort between the St. John Paul II parish and BPBC. Because of the recent generous collaboration of these communities, this free ministry is opened to all every Monday and Wednesday from 9:30 am to 10:30 am or 11:00 am to 12 noon. A Rock Steady certified instructor leads the program in specific exercises that benefit Parkinson’s people. Free equipment is available also so there’s no excuse to not give this a try! You don’t have to be a member of either church. All are welcome!! For more information give Doug or Ann Pifer a call ASAP at 502-491-3388 or just come to the Educational building to join us.

If you have decided that you want to make exercise part of your weekly routine consider joining us at the Buechel Park Baptist Church (2403 Hikes Lane) every Tuesday and Thursday from 9:15 am to 10:15 am as we loosen up our joints and flex our muscles! Most exercises are done in the comfort of a chair and are specifically meant for the needs of “mature adults!” This program is sponsored by the Francis Center, a ministry of St. John Paul II and welcomes all! Call Donna Kenney at 502-262-1017 for more info or just come join us!!
