interviewed on camera. The testimonies will be posted on CNN's website

Please e-mail Chandra M. Hayslett, director of communications and marketing for FBCLG, at chayslett@fbcsomerset.com with

Make your own fruit pops
Hot summer months can leave
you craving a cool refreshing treat.
Instead of grabbing a high-calorie ice-cream bar, try a healthy
frozen fruit pop. Place berries, such as blueberries, raspberries
and chopped
strawberries, in a small cup. Add cranberry or pineapple juice to
fill about 2/3 of the cup. Add a wooden popsicle stick
and freeze.
After freezing, run warm water over the cup to release the fruit
pop and enjoy.
C. G. Wooding Ministry Blood Pressure Screening offered every Sunday
The C.G. Wooding Ministry will be taking blood pressure screenings every

Walking Tips: Establish Your Baseline Steps
To begin, determine the average
number of steps you take each day. Put your pedometer on first thing
in the morning and wear it the rest
of the day. Use it to count the number of steps you take each day
for three days. Add your total number of steps for each of the three
days together and divide that total number by three. This gives you
an average from which to start setting short- and long-term goals.
Bereavement information is now on the web
Information
on what to do when a loved one dies is now
on the FBC website at http://fbcsomerset.com.
Should you take a counteroffer?
As the economy gets better, studies show that many employees will leave when
they get a better job opportunity. Not wanting to lose them, current
employers may make counteroffers.
Deciding
to accept or reject a counteroffer involves asking oneself some
key questions. Some
questions might be "Why am I hearing a counteroffer now?" or
"Which place best suits my long-term career goals?"
To
make the process
easier, think about the possibility of a counteroffer before
stepping foot in your boss’ office.
