Are you drinking enough water to support your body's needs? It's a question many of us ponder, and the answer isn't always straightforward. We've all heard the "drink eight glasses a day" advice, but the truth is, your hydration needs depend on various factors, including your health, activity level, and environment. What are the health benefits of water? Water is your body's principal chemical component and makes up about 50% to 70% of your body weight. Your body depends on water to survive. Every cell, tissue and organ in your body needs water to work properly. For example, water: • Gets rid of wastes through urination, perspiration and bowel movements • Keeps your temperature normal • Lubricates and cushions joints Protects sensitive tissues Lack of water can lead to dehydration — a condition that occurs when you don't have enough water in your body to carry out normal functions. Even mild dehydration can drain your energy and make you tired. Get your water in!!! • Reminders: PLEASE clean the equipment after each use to help stop the spread of all the viruses going around. • Bricks for sale; Purchase your bricks from a committee member or see me.

Keep that body moving … So important!! “ Staying active helps delay or prevent chronic Illnesses and diseases associated with aging.
“ Remember, Jesus Loves You ” “ We thank our God in every remembrance of you, always offering prayer with joy every time we pray for you all. ” Those were the Apostle Paul ’ s words of love to the Christians who were living in Philippi. We echo his prayer regularly. What a great God we serve!! He loves us and gave His Son, who gave His life as a sacrifice for our sin, and granted us the gift of forgiveness. I trust each of us are included by faith in his prayer. Paul thanked the Lord for people who stood with him financially, allowing him to share the love of Christ. The power of Christ ’ s love and presence gave him confidence that the task God had given him would be perfected and fulfilled until the day of Christ Jesus. It was the reason his love for others gave him great joy and purpose. He loved them as they faithfully loved him. Karen and I have felt loved and encouraged also. Thanks for attending and supporting Chapel, and us, for over 19 years of our service to Him here. As we leave the position of Chaplain of ORPS, and begin our next “ journey of faith, it is with mixed emotions. So many of you have given us the joy of praying for you. ORPS has been one of the great blessings in our lives. We love you and will keep our lot and rig, enabling us to see you during January and February each season. This is our prayer for you: “ May your love abound still even more and more in real knowledge and discernment, doing things that are excellent and enabling, that you will be sincere and blameless until the day of Christ. ” We are grateful for your participation and friendship through Chapel through these years. We pray you will be the same for the next person who fills the role of Chaplain of ORPS. God bless you, Jim and Karen.
