This event is to promote a healthy and active lifestyle to university students. It is a type of health ministries because one of the key goals of this event is to educate others about incorporating health principles into their lives. Its purpose is to show others that healthy living can be simple and fun! The Made to Move event will be based on princIples found in the acronym NEWSTART, although an emphasis will be placed on the exercise aspect. The facts that will be presented via social media throughout our event will be taken from scientific sources, connecting science to healthy Christian living. As more students become aware of how easy and fun it can be to live a healthy lifestyle, they can also share their experience with others, creating a ripple effect.

Time: 4:00 – 5:30 pm, EST
Topic: Nutrition Considerations for Vegetarians, Part 2
A vegetarian diet has been associated with a vast array of health benefits, but what makes it so powerful in preventing, managing, or even reversing chronic diseases is not only the elimination of meat and other animal products, but also the plant-based food choices that are made. In this webinar we will look at a few more nutrients of “concern” on a plant-based diet and how to make sure we are not falling short on them to guarantee we are doing the best we can in optimizing our health.

Communication & Relational Aspects of COVID-19
Date: Thursday, August 12
Time: 12:00 pm (noon), Eastern
Presenter: Costin Jordache, Vice President, Adventist HealthCare
Topic: Navigating the Communication & Relational Aspects of COVID-19
James 1:19 counsels believers to “be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to get angry.” That can be challenging in this land of many opinions concerning how best to curb the current pandemic. This is sure to be a very helpful presentation for FCNs who often find themselves ministering in the midst of differing opinions.
