Aerobics—Monday 8:30-9:30 a.m.
Instructor: Leslie Bunton
To lively music, ladies soft-shoe routines, to stretch, tighten, and build bodies. Not a lot of bouncing or moves that are hard on knees. Leslie’s personality allows everyone to move at her own pace, and her sensitivity, melded with her joyful personality, creates a welcoming setting. The last twenty minutes, individuals do floor exercises with weights. Ladies (or men!) can be a part of this class at any time. Needed equipment: exercise mat, hand weights (3, 4 or 5 lbs.), and a water bottle. Dress in comfortable clothes (shorts or long pants) and tennis shoes. Cost per session is $5.00. If you are interested in additional information, call Adell Chrisman (681-7740) or Beverly Hoffman (681-2478).
Yoga—Tuesday 9:00-10:30 a.m.
Instructors: Lee Zurcher, Carol Von Borstel, Leslie Menia
In a quiet, meditative spirit, one of the three instructors encourage ladies through a series of yoga moves, always stressing that each person should listen to her own body and respond to that rhythm. The last ten to fifteen minutes, the class lies down and relaxes the body totally after the hour and fifteen minute work-out. The three instructors are all certified, and each instructor brings her unique personality and expertise to the class. Ladies (or men) can be a part of this class at any time. Needed equipment: yoga mat and blanket. Further information: Do not eat two to three hours before the class and come ten minutes early to be in a state of quiet. Take off shoes before entering the hall. Dress in loose clothes and be barefoot. Cost per session: donation of $3.00- $5.00, as you wish. If you are interested in additional information, call Sharman Richardson (681-2357) or Beverly Hoffman (681-2478).
Exercise Balls—Wednesday 8:30-9:30 a.m.
Instructor: Leslie Bunton
Leslie and the class stretch, using a large exercise ball as a prop, in order to gain flexibility and strength. Leslie’s approach is always fun. You’re guaranteed at least ten hearty laughs each session. The last twenty minutes or so, individuals work on floor exercises. Ladies (or men) are welcomed to join in at any time. Needed equipment: exercise ball, yoga mat, hand weights (3, 4, or 5 lbs.), and water bottle. Further information: exercise balls can be stored at the Gardiner Center. Exercise balls can be purchased at Big 5; also, yoga and exercise mats. Dress in comfortable clothes and tennis shoes. Cost per session: $5.00. If you are interested in additional information, call Gayle Rankin (582-0911) or Beverly Hoffman (681-2478).

Peninsula Worldwide Church of God
Saturdays 1 p.m.
Elder: Jim Jobe
The Peninsula Worldwide Church of God is a Christian church with a small
congregation. The Church meets each Saturday at 1pm. The church also
hosts two bible studies each month on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays. Church
members work on various projects in the community, such as the Salvation
Army, OLYCAP, and other outreach programs. Because many members are
limited by age they rarely undertake projects that are physically
demanding, and therefore members attempt to help others as circumstances
permit and by Spiritual prayer.
The Church’s vision is to be a church that brings honor and Glory to God
by keeping His Commandments and fulfilling His Great Commission. The
Church’s mission is to build a family of Christian believers who are
devoted to Jesus, united in love, committed to spiritual growth and
dedicated to sharing His Good News.
