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.
