Newnan First United Methodist Church is pleased to offer a preventive health event. Life
Line Screening, a leading provider of community-based preventive health
screenings, will host their affordable, non-invasive and painless health screenings
on 3/18/2016.
Five screenings will be offered that scan for potential health problems related to: blocked
arteries which is a leading cause of stroke; abdominal aortic aneurysms which can lead to a ruptured aorta; hardening of the arteries in the legs which is a strong predictor of heart
disease; atrial fibrillation or irregular heart beat which is closely tied to stroke risk; and a bone density screening, for men and women, used
to assess the risk of osteoporosis.
Register for a Wellness Package, which includes 4 vascular tests and osteoporosis
screening from $149 ($139 with our member discount). All five screenings take 60-90
minutes to complete.
In order to register for this event and to receive a $10 discount off any package priced
above $129, please call 1-888-653-6441 or visit www.lifelinescreening.com/community-

“Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.” -Psalm 23:6
A BIG “THANK YOU!”
As many of you know, we were coming into the final months of 2015 with a budget deficit that
would have severely limited our ability to meet expenses. We shared this concern with you and, as usual, you responded with true generosity and faithfulness! Thanks to your
giving, we ended the year with an actual surplus! God is good!
