Antigo Area FIT SHEPHERDS:
A
Men Gather to “Honor God and Honor Our Bodies”
s many of us strive to maintain our health — both physically and spiritually — we can look to Scripture for both inspiration and direction. For instance, as we read in 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, “Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own? For you have been purchased at a price. Therefore, glorify God in your body.” In turn, this verse demonstrates why it’s important that we have women’s and men’s groups at our parishes that exist to combine prayer and exercise. Our bodies are a temple of the Holy Spirit, so we should keep them spiritually and physically fit. Fr. Zach Weber helped get the Fit Shepherds group going about three years ago. John Gagnon joined when he moved to the area as a way to meet people from the parishes, and he now coordinates the group, which meets at 7 a.m. on Saturday continued on page 5
