SIGN UP TO SERVE




Exercise Groups

Exercise is an important part of our lives, helping us to stay fit and active. At Desert Hills Lutheran Church, we offer a variety of exercise groups to choose from so you can find the class that best fits your needs. These groups are free of charge, and everyone is welcome.

  • Chair Aerobics & Toning with Kerry Myhra meets on Friday from 10 - 11 am.
  • Chair Yoga with Gail Johnson meets on Fridays from 11 am – 12 pm.
  • Classical Yoga with Mary Ann Rueger meets on Mondays from 10 -11 am.
  • Stretch and Balance meet on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 8 – 8:45 am. This class follows a CD exercise workout.



Health & Wellness Committee

The Health and Wellness Committee consists of volunteer health professionals and other members to foster health, healing, and caring for the church community through education, well-being, and illness prevention, rather than through “hands-on” physical care. They are committed to promoting health and wholeness of body, mind, and spirit of our faith community, and its individual members, and making a difference in serving those outside the congregation. Meetings are held on the first Thursday of each month from 9 – 10 am. Please check the church calendar for healthy living seminars and other events.




Take off Pounds Sensibly (TOPS)

TOPS is all about connection and support. They offer a simple program that helps people physically, mentally, and emotionally in an accepting, non-judgmental environment on a weekly basis. There is a group that meets at Desert Hills Lutheran Church every Thursday from 8 – 9:30 am. Please visit their website (tops.org) to learn more about their program.
