May 3rd Friday Knights
On May 21st the Arizona Christian Men’s Basketball Association and St. Paul United Methodist Men held its second men’s fellowship and open gym. The event for adult men was attended by men from age 36 to 63.
After a brief overview about AZCMBA and its mission to promote men’s health education, prevention and early detection, founder Barney Hilton Murray shared some facts about sodium and calories. For example: if you eat 500 calories more than you need each day, it adds 3,500 calories a week. At this rate, you could gain one pound each week – 52 pounds in a year.
During the Men’s Minute, the pastor of St. Paul United Methodist Church, Billy Still shared the spiritual connection between living a Christian life and healthy living. In his talk, Pastor Still encouraged the men to pursue a healthy lifestyle not just for their own benefit but for the benefit of their families as well. Pastor Still is teaching a series called Step by Step: A Year of Transformational Living. More information is available on the church website at http://www.stpaulsumctucson.org/worship/step_by_step.htm.
Some of the men shared their challenges and failures with regards to not being the best examples and how their children now have the same bad habits.
After this somewhat therapeutic discussion, everyone agreed that this was one of the areas that we all were going to be making some changes.
The men decided that for the June 3rd Friday Knights, since it is Father’s Day weekend, that fathers can bring there sons or little brothers to the gym.
