For those who haven’t come across Thrive, it's our exciting physical wellbeing ministry that can help you live a healthier life and a great way to invite friends and family to something at GodFirst. Rachel has been recovering from surgery, so some classes have been on pause. She’s not fully back to speed, but we’re restarting PowerFlex: Wed 14/10, Bootcamp: Tue 20/10 and HIIT: Wed 27/10. For more information and to book in, please go to the website or chat with Dave & Rachel Hairs or Ruth Bishop.
