Location: City Alliance Church
This is a FREE health screening that includes cholesterol, blood pressure, sugar levels and body composition. The screening requires a slight prick of your finger to produce a small blood sample for immediate analysis, takes only 10 minutes, and results will populate in 90 seconds. No I.D. or insurance is required.
What should you expect?
Please fast for 10-12 hours for this screening.
Remain hydrated. Drink only water, black coffee or black tea.

A screening is done to detect potential health disorders or diseases in people who do not have any symptoms of disease. The goal is early detection and lifestyle changes or surveillance to reduce the risk of disease, or to detect it early enough to treat it most effectively.

Worship Night
Worship Night: What is Worship?
1 Corinthians 10:31 says “So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” And Romans 12:1 says “Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God – This is your true and proper worship.”
We worship God because of who He is. He is merciful and gracious, a redeemer and a father but the way we worship Him can be different for every person. So, join us on November 10th to sing songs proclaiming the good news of the gospel and exploring individual testimonies about the power of worship. We can't wait to worship with you!
