Truro Church
Point of Hope Church
opened its doors Sunday,
Oct. 4, in Truro, and cur-
rently is meeting at the 1-
35 High School Saturday
nights from 5-6 p.m.
"We are a simple
church with a message of
HOPE and our mission in
2009 is to bring HOPE back
to families," says pastor
and counselor Michael
Borst. Families face tre-
mendous pressures toda34
says Borst, who has been
married for 18 years and
has two young boys ages
6 and 9. Parents and chil-
dren struggle to find time
to connect because of
school, sports, jobs and
extra-curricular activi-
ties. Additionally, our cul-
ture puts high demands
on our time, finances and
careers while de-empha-
sizing the importance of
family and God in our
lives. This is evidenced by
the high rate of divorce,

suicide, crime and drug

Point of Hope Church
desires to help families get
back to the basics by stay-
ing connected in a discon-
nected world. "One of our
core values," says Borst,
"is strengthening families
and marriages and to do
this the church has to of-
fer relevant ways to meet
these needs." As a young
church, Point of Hope of-
fers a casual, relaxing at-
mosphere with coffee-
house style worship and
a relevant, life changing
Biblical message for teens
and adults. In addition,
Point of Hope offers kids'
church where children
ages 4th through 5th
grade connect with caring
and trusted adults to dis-
cover how Jesus is rel-
evant in their lives.
Immediately following
the worship time, Point of
Hope offers a time for fami-
lies to connect, build rela-
tionships and do life to-
gether. "Watching families
experience life together
around tables talking
about their week, their
kids, their jobs and life ex-
periences is the highlight
of my week," say s Borst.
"I hope to see this explode
in 2009 by offering mid-
week house groups as an-
other venue to foster
healthy families and mar-
riages."
"Ultimately, we want
families to know that God
has a plan and a purpose
for their lives," says Borst,
"and if having a better
marriage or a healthier
family this coming New
Year is important, then I
hope you will check us
out."

Pecans: Good FcYour Heart
(NAPS)---Here's food for
thought: Scientific research
suggests that eating just a
handful of pecans each day
may help lower the risk of
heart disease, due to the nutfs
high concentration of healthy
unsaturated fat.
They're best enjoyed when
fresh and flavorful, so the Na-
tional Pecan Shellers As-
sociation (NPSA) offers these
buying and storage tips:
When you're looking to help
your heart and have your-
self a savory snack, nutri-
tionistS advise- Nuts to
you---especially pecans.
• Look for plump kernels
uniform in color and size.
• Shelled pecans can be
refrigeratd.T up to nine
months andtwo years in
the freezer.
• Airtight containers,
such as jars with lids, are best
for storing pecans in the
refrigerator:.
• Sealed plastic bags
work best for storing pecans
in the freezer.
• In-shell pecans can be
stored in a cool, dry place for
six to 12 months.
