Health Ministries is not only about assisting our members with living healthier, happier lives; it is also about reaching out to the surrounding community.
From demonstrating healthy principles at our Sabbath potluck to offering seminars on smoking cessation and stress free living we want to provide lots of ways for people to lead healthy and happy lives.
JANUARY – Cervical Cancer & Thyroid Awareness
Week 1
Our Health Tip of the Week from the Health Ministry is:
Women should get regular Pap tests. Call a doctor if you have bleeding between periods or after menopause. Eat green vegetables like broccoli, cabbage, and spinach.
“My people perish for lack of knowledge.” — Hosea 4:6
Let us pray for wisdom and early care.
Week 2
Feeling very tired, hair loss, or weight changes without trying may be thyroid problems. Use iodized salt in small amounts and eat eggs, fish, and nuts.
“I am fearfully and wonderfully made.” — Psalm 139:14
Let us pray for balance in our bodies.
Week 3
The HPV shot helps prevent cervical cancer. Eat fruits like oranges, berries, and kiwi to support immunity.
“A cheerful heart is good medicine.” — Proverbs 17:22
Let us pray for protection.
Week 4
Call a doctor if you notice neck swelling or trouble swallowing. Drink 6–8 cups of water each day.
“Commit your way to the Lord.” — Psalm 37:5
Let us pray for peace and guidance.
