Saturday 12:00 PM
Welcome to Beltsville Seventh-day Adventist Church. We are so glad you’ve joined us for worship today.
Life can be wonderful, full of joy, family, friends and vitality. It can also be cruel, as we experience pain, loneliness and illness. What if we could be ready for when those hard times come into our lives? Do we realize that God is close to the brokenhearted, the lonely and the sick? In this new teaching series we will find what God is doing in our journey towards emotional, physical and relational healing.

Focus Text:
Have compassion on me, Lord, for I am weak. Heal me, Lord, for my bones are in agony. I am sick at heart. How long, O Lord, until you restore me? Return, O Lord, and rescue me. Save me because of your unfailing love. Psalm 6:2-4 New Living Translation

Undo Diabetes
Are you diabetic or pre diabetic? The typical standard of care for type 2 diabetes today is blood sugar management by using medication and by reducing sugar intake as much as possible. However, for most type 2 diabetics, it’s not production of insulin that’s a problem or even sugar for that matter—it’s insulin resistance, a condition where insulin in your body becomes increasingly less effective as time goes on. The good news is insulin resistance CAN be reversed!
The Health Ministries Department is offering a workshop to undo diabetes. This dynamic workshop will empower you to address the root causes of disease through simple lifestyle strategies such as nutrition, exercise, comprehensive testing, and more. Join Dr. Wes Youngberg, author of Goodbye Diabetes, and Brenda Davis, world-renowned plant-based dietician, as they guide you through a hope-filled journey to undo your disease and reclaim your health.
What You Will Learn
**Make sense of the confusion surrounding diabetes treatment.
**The diabetes-fitness connection, and how to gear your exercise regimen to fight diabetes.
**The diabetes-food connection, and how you can optimize your meals to nourish your body instead of damaging it.
**The diabetes-mind connection, and how your health involves more than just what you eat and do.
Invite a friend, a neighbor or a loved one who you think can benefit from this workshop. Workshop duration: 8 weeks—One meeting per week for 1 hour or 1½ hour. Cost: $49 per participant; certificate upon completion. Preregister to save your space. Continue to check upcoming bulletins for updates on start date.
