Let’s Get Moving Challenge

Let’s Get Moving!

Monday, August 31, 2026 – Sunday, September 27, 2026

We’re inviting everyone in the LCMS Northern Illinois District to get moving!

God designed all bodies to move, and we’re celebrating His gift of movement with an invigorating 4-week challenge.

The Challenge:

All you have to do is move your body for 10 minutes a day, 5 days a week. Any physical activity for 10 minutes. If it gets you moving, it counts! No gym required, no special equipment – just move! Anyone in the Northern Illinois District can participate; all ages and abilities are welcome.

Here’s how it works:

• Move your body for 10 minutes a day, 5 days of the week
• Submit a quick online check-in form by Sunday night to be entered into a weekly gift card drawing
• Do it again the following week!

Why move more?

Steward well & glorify God: Let’s take care of the amazing body God has created with movement in mind. Moving according to His design glorifies Him!

Recharge your energy: Movement breaks throughout your day breaks up slumps and helps you feel more energized.

Long-term benefits: You can lower your risk of health issues across your lifespan simply by sitting less and moving more.

Healthy habits: When you’re intentional about daily movement, it becomes a habit with a big impact!

Build community: Get moving with your brothers and sisters across the NID, within your own congregation and school, or with your family and friends

Earn wellness incentives: Some insurance plans offer wellness incentive programs that reward you for daily activity. You report your movement to earn incentives. Check out this document (link to incentive program blog) to help you discover if your insurance company has benefits like this; remember, if you have Concordia Health Plans, you likely have something like this through Vitality!
