Re:Help Needed - Wellness Policies


Jack,
I have not found it feasible to legislate behavior at church-or even
helpful. Our parishioners are elderly by and large and are not open to even
doing fruit on a weekly basis as they feel it is too expensive to provide it
to the whole church on Sunday morning at fellowship time. It has been a
struggle but our cabinet has provided a "healthy choice" on a monthly basis
for several years and it is always well received but only when there was a
sweet treat to go along with it. We have a small congregation and one would
think it would be more doable but ...not so. We put a sign-up sheet out for
who would bring treats and only the sweet side was filled in and none of the
healthy alternative side. Good luck writing polices about health--they
almost always fail...or drive people away. The change has to come about
gradually and be demonstrated and encouraged--not demanded.
