On Saturday December 9, 2023,\u00a0the St. Paul\u00a0Missionary Baptist Church hosted a “Health Fair” sponsored by ABC\/Health Care and the Area Office on Aging from 9:00 a\/m till 12:00 noon. Parishioner’s, family members, neighbors and friends from all around were present. Participants had to have a valid ID.<\/p>\n

The Fair sponsored influenza shots\u00a0and COVID-19 vaccines. Each participant received\u00a0a $100. 00 gift card from Kroger’s\u00a0or Meijers. It was a great turn out,\u00a0and great protection for all involved. A great way of\u00a0helping the Community fight disease. Pre-registration\u00a0was required, as well as walk in’s were accepted.<\/p>\n

There\u00a0were members from St. Paul Missionary Baptist Church as well as other churches in the Community. Deacon\u00a0and Mrs. Leroy Bates from the Indiana Ave. Baptist Church were present; Larry Sykes from First Church and many others. More than 75 people were in attendance.<\/p>\n

Sister Mary Reed and Sister\u00a0Deborah Barnett were able to register\u00a0all of the attendees. There were staff members from ABC as well as Area Office on Aging available to be of service\u00a0and attend to all members receiving\u00a0the vaccines.<\/p>\n

Church leaders extended their thanks to Sister Regina Russell and other staff from Area Office on Aging for a job well done. “I am grateful\u00a0to God for\u00a0an opportunity to assist in any way possible to help our community\u00a0fight disease” said the Rev. Dr. James H. Willis, Sr., the Senior Pastor of St. Paul Missionary Baptist Church.<\/p>\n
