Nutrition (First Place for Health)
What Is First Place 4 Health?
The First Place 4 Health program is the result of a godly desire placed in the hearts of a group of Christians in Houston, Texas, in 1981. Their desire was to establish a Christ-centered weight-control program that addressed all areas of life—physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.
The resulting program is designed as three 12-week sessions per year—winter, spring and fall. Members stay with the same group for an entire session, encouraging and challenging one another to meet their fitness goals. Each weekly group meeting includes a weigh-in, nutritional information, class discussion, Bible study discussion and prayer.
Champion Forest Baptist Church is offering groups beginning the week of September 10, 2008. Group meetings will be held on Wednesdays at 12:30 PM and at 6:30 PM.

What Else Do I Need to Know?
Because First Place 4 Health is an all-new program, everyone who plans to participate is required to attend one of the orientations, even if you have previously participated in a First Place program. Materials are all-new as well, so a new member kit is required for everyone. After the initial semester, enrollment for alumni will be offered at a reduced rate.
The registration deadline is September 10. The class will be closed after that date, and no late registrations will be allowed.
