Holy Cross Episcopal Church, at 150 Melrose Ave., Tryon, is offering the following upcoming activities that are open to the public, and not just church members.

Cards, games and interaction

Starting Thursday, the parish hall will be open from noon until 4 p.m. There is no charge.

There will be bridge, hearts, canasta and other games for those who want to play.  People may also bring their favorite game or puzzle. 

Guests may also read, mingle or perhaps just sit and meditate. 

There will also be speakers scheduled to come and share information or their talents with everyone. 

The first speaker at noon on Thursday will be Beth Spring, a physician’s assistant and yoga instructor. Spring will give a talk about “Health over 50,” with topics including weight, diet, exercise, screening, mental health, joint health and osteoporosis. 

The second speaker will be Tina Durbin, from Tryon Health and Fitness, on Thursday Sept. 13.

Drinks and snacks will be provided, though guests may bring a packed lunch if they prefer.
