To All AWF Health Plan Participants:
Would you like to win a FREE Fitbit? The Alabama-West Florida Conference Board of Pension & Health Benefits is kicking off a friendly health competition called Thrive!!
Here is how you can participate:
1. Establish or join a group of 3-5 fellow AWF clergy persons, spouses or laity on the conference health plan. All persons on AWF Conference health insurance plan are eligible to participate.
2. Elect a team captain and name your group.
3. Each individual is to set 2 goals:
- Establish a new physical fitness habit: incorporate a new daily habit for 20 minutes, 6 days a week (don’t forget a day of rest!). If you are currently inactive, you could begin to walk for 20 minutes a day for 6 days each week. If you currently walk, perhaps incorporate some jogging or running. If you are a runner, consider some yoga and/or strength training.
*You may not set a goal of losing "X" pounds.
- Establish a new spiritual fitness habit: incorporate a new weekly habit that nurtures our membership vows (prayers, presence, gifts, service, witness). Perhaps you want to commit to giving weekly to a new charity or UM cause. Maybe you want to serve weekly at a local mission or ministry, such as Boys and Girls Club or an elementary school, in order to offer a witness. Or perhaps you wish to join a weekly Bible study, small group or accountability group.
Participants are asked to hold one another accountable each week. Team captains will be responsible for reporting how the team is progressing. This will be done via a Google form.
This friendly competition will last from March 1-May 31, 2017. At the end of this time, each group who follows the above criteria and sticks to their new habits will be placed in a drawing. The winners will each receive a new Fitbit! This will be announced and given during the AWF Board of Pension & Health Benefits report at Annual Conference.
To sign up or for more details, contact Meghan Kelley: meghankelley@ozarkfumc.org or 334.774.2569.
Let’s set some healthy lifestyle habits!
