Create a Health Event

The materials in this section are to help you carry out a health event in your area in support of the organization's health initiative, Raising Up Healthy Women and Girls.

Getting started
While you will want to review all of the material, begin with the four planning pieces:

  • The Planning "Top Ten" — A list of ten action steps.

  • A sample timeline — Give yourself enough time to ensure a well-planned and well-executed event.

  • Presenters, partners, and provisions — This list of possible presenters and questions the planning group should ask will help you to ensure that the details are covered.

  • Contacts — This list of Women of the ELCA staff contacts may come in handy as you have questions during your planning stages.

Healthy Heart Fair
The Healthy Heart Fair — which received rave reviews at the health events in 2006 — enlarges one's understanding of the scope of healthy living through E-S-P: emotional health, spiritual health, physical health. By exploring up to 12 tables or "stations of the heart," participants will engage in hands-on activity that can be carried through in daily life. Creativity about how you want to decorate your tables is encouraged. Photos of one way the tables were created are available on the healthy heart fair page to help you get started.

Give-aways
You can order give-aways for your event through Finney Company. Click on "give-aways" above left for more details.

Healing service
The healing service is available in text and PDF format. Download the format you prefer. You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to download the PDF file. If you do not have Acrobat, you may obtain it free. See site tools for information.
