Health Committee Dinner Meeting
by invitation only		 Monday, January 9
6:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Whole congregation health: Being relevant to your community, church family and Millennials
The Ministry of Healing is not confined to a book – it is being demonstrated day after day through the work of your community hospitals, clinics and care givers – as well as some congregations. They need you!
Being relevant to the felt needs of both your surrounding community and congregation is not just about weight control – but more importantly “voice” control: being able to listen then speak with insight and understanding then facilitating a response to the needs that arise.
In this seminar you will learn about:
  1. IMAGINE – a vision for whole health
  2. The 150 year Adventist health legacy and Adventist Health System ministry
  3. It is more than diet- it includes trust, relationships, listening, advocacy and action
  4. Integrating Creation Health with congregations and community entities
  5. How you can partner with your community hospital to improve the health of the surrounding neighborhoods.
