Michigan—The Edenville Church conducted a Health Expo in their community. "The event was blessed by a good number of participants," said Christien M. Hodet, pastor, Edenville Church. The Health Expo was held Aug. 9 at the Swanton Memorial Hall on Water Rd. in Sanford, Mich., and drew many people from the community. Renee Skutt and Chris Kingrey, both RNs, worked in the conference health van. They offered health screenings, blood tests and measured BMI (body mass index).

Inside the hall, church volunteers distributed free informational health and spiritual brochures, vegetarian food samples, massages, stop smoking material and offered other demonstrations.

Neil Goodman, a physician and medical director of the START NEW program, offered more than 20 free 15-minute consultations.

More than 55 community guests attended the Health Expo. In all, more than 100 attended. The church members plan to follow up with a vegan meal, hydrotherapy demonstration and a talk presented by Goodman. Guests have already asked when we will conduct the next health expo. It was such a blessing!
