St. Peter's By the Lake Episcopal Church

PEGS is Positive Eating Group Support, a new ministry offered at St. Peter's. This group is intended to support people who are looking to eat in a healthy manner, whether that be to lose weight, lower cholesterol, manage or avoid diabetes or maintain their current weight. No specific diet plan is endorsed, other than the food pyramid designed by the United States Department of Agriculture. A spiritual approach is taken toward healthy eating, following guidelines set by Norris Chumley in his book called The Joy of Weight Loss. Owning or reading the book is not a requirement of attending the meetings. Information about his program can also be found at www.beliefnet.com in the Health Area under Spiritual Weight Loss.

The group meets at the church on Saturday mornings at 9:00 a.m., and all are welcome to attend. There is no charge for the meeting, and there is a nursery available for young children during the meeting.
