|
Posted By: Reginald Culpepper on June 08, 2016 On May 15, Oakwood University, in partnership with the Breath of Life Ministry and the South Central Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, presented the "Breathe and Stand Out" Health Fair to the Huntsville community. The event was held at the McKee Business and Technology Complex, where community residents enjoyed healthy cooking demonstrations and food tastings, participated in fitness testing, and were provided free health screenings by the Huntsville Hospital Mobile Medical Unit. Games and inflatables were available for children. "Ministry must reach beyond the four walls of the church," said Oakwood University Church senior pastor Carlton Byrd. "This Breathe and Stand Out Health Fair is our gift to the Huntsville and Northern Alabama area," said Oakwood University President Leslie Pollard. "We want to have a healthy community, as well as a healthy campus," he continued. To see a video about the event, go to https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByzVtnooM...
