New Grace United Methodist Church recently celebrated its 19th anniversary with a dynamic Wellness Day on March 16, 2024. This significant event not only marked a milestone for the church but also provided an opportunity for members of the congregation and the broader community to unite in joyous festivities. Aligned with the ministry's focus on the 5-Dimensions of Wellness, the Wellness Day aimed to nurture participants’ spiritual, physical, social, and mental health. The day kicked off with registration at 7 am, where eager participants gathered to kick off the festivities. At 8 am, the event began with an invigorating walk, symbolizing the unity and camaraderie among attendees. Police escorts ensured the safety of all participants along the route, enhancing the overall experience. Throughout the day, various activities were organized to engage participants and promote overall well-being. One highlight was a dynamic fitness session led by Nyra T. Govan, a recent graduate of Claflin University in Human Performance and Recreation. Nyra brought her expertise and passion for health and fitness to the event, leaving participants feeling energized and invigorated. The event was further energized by the lively performances of the Lowcountry Scootin’ Boots Line Dancers from Walterboro, SC, who had everyone moving and grooving. As the event progressed, participants were treated to a delightful spread of nutritious snacks and refreshing drinks, including salads, fruits, and beverages, to refuel and rejuvenate. Attendees were later recognized for their participation, with awards given out in various age categories. Door prizes added an element of excitement to the day, while a session of Bible trivia led by Rev. McLeod provided spiritual enrichment for all. Feedback from attendees was overwhelmingly positive, with many expressing gratitude for the opportunity to come together in fellowship and support one another's wellness journeys. Looking ahead, New Grace UMC is already planning their next Wellness Day, scheduled for September 21, 2024.
