Burnt Oak's Wellbeing Afternoon Celebrates Community Health

On Sabbath, May 18th, Burnt Oak Community Fellowship Church Plant, led by Pastor Juan Carlos Patrick, hosted a Wellbeing Afternoon at the Watling Community Centre in Edgware. The family-friendly event aimed at promoting health and wellness in the local community featured fun and engaging activities centred around five key themes: Healthy Eating, Relaxation, Gratitude, Boosting Self-Esteem, and Exercise.

Aligning with Mental Health Awareness Week, the event emphasised the importance of mental health, encouraging community support and involvement. Attendees enjoyed interactive sessions on healthy eating – learning about nutritious food options. Relaxation techniques were shared to help manage stress, while activities promoting gratitude encouraged a positive mindset. Boosting self-esteem was a highlight, with workshops designed to build confidence and self-worth. Additionally, physical fitness sessions took place to encourage everyone to be active.

The cheerful atmosphere and supportive community spirit made the afternoon a memorable success. Overall, the afternoon provided a valuable opportunity for the church to engage with the local community to prioritise their health and well-being, fostering unity and support among participants.
