N. M. United Methodist Church is once again hosting the 3B Program – Body, Brain & Belief — for Seniors. The church is located at 306 E. 2nd St, North Manchester.

Classes are held on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday each week from 10 -11 a.m. Classes are free of charge.

The 3B Program is designed especially for senior adults. The focus is on moving muscles (Body), stretching the brain (Brain), and nurturing one’s faith (Belief). The 3B program is designed to be done primarily sitting in a chair, with the option of some exercises done standing. The aim is always to increase muscle strength and flexi- bility while improving balance. The beauty of the program is that it can be adapted to use with individuals in wheelchairs and/or walkers. Individuals can join the class at any time and it is not a requirement to attend all the classes each week.
