Health Fair Presentation Spotlight:
Fall Prevention 101
|
Did you know falls are the #1 mechanism of injury for Level 1 trauma hospitals throughout the nation? Falls are the leading cause of death for Ohioans over 65 years of age and the #1 cause of fatal and non-fatal injuries. One in four people age 65 and older falls each year. Falls are NOT a normal part of aging.
Join the University of Cincinnati Trauma Center for
Fall Prevention 101
, a workshop to help you reduce your risk. Participants will learn strategies for avoiding or eliminating fall hazards to better navigate inside and outside the home, balance and strength exercises, and the role vision, medication, and footwear play in falls. This class is for people who are:
1) at risk of falling
2) have a fear of falling, or
3) who have fallen one or more times.
The benefits of this class include learning to step outside your home with confidence, becoming more aware of fall hazards and learning how your fall risk can be reduced.

The Noon Service is Now Hearing-Impaired Friendly!
We are pleased to announce that beginning Sunday, September 1, there will be an
American Sign Language
(ASL) interpreter at The Noon Service, providing ASL translations of this service for our friends in the deaf community. What originally began as an effort to make this service available to a larger community, has very quickly grown. We hope that ultimately by providing this service, we can better serve those who currently attend, and extend out to others a new way to be included in worship.
The Noon Service is rooted in the
beauty
, simplicity, and rich diversity of the Anglican tradition. This worship service combines prayer, silence, music, scripture, and discussion. We
sing
ancient hymn texts set to evocative, timeless music prepared and led by local songwriters. We
reflect
and
discuss
the Scripture readings of the day. We
pray
for the needs of the world and
share
a simple Eucharistic feast using wine and bread. All are welcome! 12:00 pm every Sunday in Centennial Chapel.

Procter News
We are in the dog days of summer here at Procter. Cicadas are singing and the black eyed Susan’s are in bloom. Summer camp is a wrap and it was a great season. A special thank you to Andrea Foote and her staff for all of their hard work.
We are focusing on the fall harvest at the farm and welcoming guests to the Conference Center as we move into fall. The Procter Store is going well and we would love for you to stop in and shop for fresh produce, meat, honey, maple syrup, jewelry, candles and more. The store is located in Downtown London at 119 S Main St. and is open Thurs. and Fri. from Noon – 5 and Sat. 10 – 3. Hope to see you soon.
