This year’s Health Expo at West County SDA Church was held on the afternoon of April 26. Thirty-four volunteers and 20 vendors came together to serve 86 guests of all ages who attended the event.
The Expo highlighted the eight natural laws of health and provided guests with information about their blood pressure, BMI, body fat percentage, lung capacity, and overall health age. St. Luke’s Hospital offered cholesterol and glucose screenings.
Guests also had the opportunity to enjoy a chair massage provided by A Health Pattern, relax with a warm foot soak, sample nutritious vegan foods, strengthen their trust in God, receive prayer, and take home a free plant. Health counselors were available throughout the event to provide consultation and support.
The vendors played an important role in the Expo, sharing valuable information and offering promotional giveaways for attendees. Their participation was greatly appreciated.
One of the greatest blessings of the day was seeing four individuals express interest in attending the local church.
One gentleman has since attended several Sabbaths, and church members have enjoyed getting to know him better.
May the investment of time, care, and resources that goes into the Health Expo bear fruit for God’s eternal kingdom.
