Spiritual Health: Neglected Dimensions: Medical research reveals that spirituality is a powerful, but often neglected, resource when it comes to natural healing strategies. Drs. DeRose and Steinke will present a one-hour presentation on this topic for the divine worship service on Sabbath, June 25. Attendees will receive an overview of the connections between spirituality and health, but, more importantly, they will learn eight timeless spiritual prescriptions for health and wholeness. The doctors’ lively, dialogue-format presentation will feature Christian principles, but will present them in a way that appeals to people from any spiritual walk. Don’t miss this opportunity to join us—and to invite your friends.
