Mayor's prayer breakfast
held at KM senior center
BY ANDIE L. BRYMER

«A key participant in the
argument over the public
display of the Ten
Commandments spoke in
Kings Mountain last week.
Dr. Rich Hobson, attorney
for former Alabama Chief
Justice Roy Moore, gave the
keynote address during the
Mayor's Prayer Breakfast
Thursday and at a rally for
the Ten Commandments
Wednesday at Family
Worship Center.
Hobson told the civic and
business leaders, elected
officials, clergy, city depart-
ment heads and other
employees gathered at the
Patrick Center that Moore
was removed from the
bench for acknowledging
God.
Other state level officials
in Alabama had been
allowed to remain in their
positions despite drug and
alcohol problems and in one
case the sexual abuse of
minors, according to
Hobson.
He encouraged the
approximate 120 people
attending the breakfast to
pray daily for the country’s
leaders, not just on National
Day of Prayer. Hobson also
told the crowd to seek God's
guidance in their roles in the
community.

The second annual break-
‘fast was organized by the
Pastor’s Prayer Circle, a 14-

“We're experiencing a
mighty move of God in this
community,” said Rev. Doug
Allen. He serves as chaplain
of Kings Mountain Police
Department and is pastor at
Penley’s Chapel.
Mayor Rick Murphrey
thanked the crowd for pray-
ing for him and his family.

“It’s so important to have

Jesus Christ in our life,” he
said.
Bishop Roger Woodard of
Family Worship Center was
pleased with the rally and
breakfast.
“It was exciting to me
finding out some of their
work in Alabama and
nationwide,” he said.
Woodard’s wife Margaret
Woodard and their daugh-
ters Molora Kellstrom and

as caterers for the event.

Nurse opens massage
center in Kings Mountain

Working as a care coordi-
nator and administrator at
an assisted living facility,
registered nurse. Glenda S.
Waters watched, as massage
therapy helped her patients.
At the same time, a friend
from Raleigh who was
studying massage therapy
gave Waters her first mas-
sage.
“Oh my goodness. I did-
n't know how tight and
stressed my muscles were. I
can’t believe I feel like this,”
Waters thought as her friend
finished the massage. “I did-
n’t want it to end.”
A year later Waters
enrolled at Southeastern
School of Neuromuscular
and Massage Therapy in
Charlotte. In 2000, she grad-
uated from the 500-hour
program. Waters gave pro-
fessional massages in her
home until opening Healing
Hands Therapy Center in
the lower level of the

chair massage.
Chair massage can be
done at Healing Hands or in
the workplace. Clients sit
fully clothed in a specially
designed chair for the brief,
invigorating massage.
Massage often helps with
fibromyalgia, arthritis, high
blood pressure, healing from
their comfort level and are
draped. Only the part of the
body being massaged is
exposed. Sensitive areas are
not massaged or seen.
Clients undress and dress in
private.
Clients can talk, be silent
or sleep during their mas-
Waters pulls from her
nursing background to bet-
ter assess and treat clients
using massage. Waters is a
1980 graduate of
Presbyterian Hospital
School of Nursing and has a
bachelor of nursing degree
from UNC-Charlotte.
In addition to general
relaxation massages, Waters
also does neuromuscular
therapy, prenatal, infant,
lymphatic and chair mas-
surgery and injury and
sometimes helps bring
down blood sugar.
The technique’s most well
known benefit is probably
relaxation. Massage helps
the body release endorphins,
causing a chemical reaction
resulting in a sense of well
being.
Having clients walk out
the door saying how much
better they feel is one of the
best parts of the job for
sage.
“This is your time to
relax,” she said.
Waters is licensed by the
state as a massage therapist
and is nationally certified.
Waters charges $55 for an
hour relaxation massage,
$65 for an hour of neuro-
muscular; $100 for an hour
of lymphatic; $55 for an
hour long pregnancy mas-
sage and $1 a minute for
chair massages.

Neuromuscular works on
muscle groups to correct
specific problems. Prenatal
helps with the circulatory
and lymphatic systems, alle-
viates stress on weight-bear-
ing joints, prepares the body
for labor and promotes
release of physical and emo-
tional tension.
Infant massage reduces
discomfort from colic, gas
and constipation, improves
muscle tone and sleeping,
releases stress and is good
for parent and child bond-
ing.
Lymphatic massage
increases the flow of lymph
fluids off-setting swelling
often experienced by people
undergoing treatment for
cancer. Waters is a certified
lymphatic therapist.
