ACKNOWLEDGMENT
To Dr. Butts, Ms. Graham, and The Abyssinian Baptist Church,
Thank you for everything! Everyone from your office, Reverend Bachus, Reverend
Moore, and Reverend Young, to Aby Tech, the Usher Ministry, Hospitality, and
Archives & History - helped make magic happen in celebration of a beautiful human
being, Raven Wilkinson. We couldn’t have asked for a better program. Misty and I are
grateful to Reverend Butts for his always poignant words and perspective. Abyssinian
is a very special place, and I’m thrilled to have made it possible to bring people
through its doors. You are in our hearts today, and always. ~ Gilda Squire and Misty
Copeland
Thank you to everyone who supported the Thank you to everyone who supported the $3.0 in 24MO! Campaign and to those who attended the reception. This two year campaign officially ended
on October 31, 2016. To date, the campaign allowed us to pay for the cost of nearly two of the five floors. Your generosity has been overwhelming.
As you can see, we still have a way to go. For those who have not completed their pledge, we want
you to continue your payments even though the campaign has ended from an accounting point of view. All of your future payments will be noted to your pledge. We ask you to continue to support AbyWest. New initiatives will roll out soon as we continue to forge ahead to reach our goal of
$8MM to complete the entire five floor community center.
We continue to strive to attain 100% participation because we want others to know our membership is committed to this effort. Your support is greatly appreciated!

2019 Spring Series
Understanding Depression | Instructor: Dr. Henry McCurtis – Blue Rm.
Tue. 4/16, 4/30 | 7 PM – 8:30 PM
Although we often say we are depressed when we are having a bad day, disappointing
events or circumstances are a normal part of life and frequently result in passing
feelings of sadness. Depression, on the other hand, is a medical illness that can be
associated with problems at school and/or work, in relationships, and quality of life. It
can be precipitated by an adverse life event or simply occur out of the blue. The good
news is that treatment is available, and recovery is possible. Come learn more about
depression.
Storm Tracking: Navigating the Storms of Life | 1st Fl. Conf. Rm.
Instructor: Sis. Charisse Nelson | Fri. 4/12, 4/19, 4/26, 5/10 | 7 PM – 8:30 PM
In Romans 5:3-5 the Apostle Paul boldly states, “suffering produces endurance, and
endurance produces character, and character hope, and hope does not disappoint us…” but
what happens when the storm is longer than anticipated and what is to be learned
during the midst of the storm. This course will take a look at what the Bible teaches
about perseverance. It will provide both spiritual and practical guidance for storm
preparation, navigation, analysis, and application. It will explore how information
gathered during a storm can provide future testimonies which can aid in navigating
future storms as well as help others make it through their present sufferings.

MEDICAL MOMENT

“WELLNESS”
IMHOTEP represents the first figure of physician/surgeon and healer, who lived during
the third dynasty in ancient Kemet 5,000 years ago approx. 2,200 years before
Hippocrates. Imhotep was an astronomer, architect, mathematician, and poet, who
developed treatments that are still in use today for intestinal disorders.
WELLNESS is the active process of making choices towards a healthy lifestyle. The
World Health Organization (WHO) defines wellness as “"...a state of complete physical,
mental, and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity."
There are several elements to wellness or wellbeing: Physical, Mental,
Emotional, Spiritual, Financial, Social, Occupational and Environmental. It is
critical to maintain these elements at an optimal level to have a higher quality life.
PHYSICAL: This requires and encourages care of your body by maintaining regular
physical activity and proper nutrition. Regular exercise lowers your risk for multiple
diseases, including high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, stroke, cancer and even
dementia. Regular physical exercise can lower your risk for some cancers by 10-20%. It
improves your sleep, increases energy and mood. Regular exercise can even treat mild
depression.
NUTRITION: Eat a rainbow! Drink more water! A plant focused diet high in fruits and
vegetables, nuts, low in saturated fats and dairy products, while limiting alcohol intake is
recommended. Reducing added sugars can dramatically reduce your risk for heart disease.
Excess added sugar is also tied to premature aging and reduced immunity. Be mindful of
the food you eat, especially packaged and processed foods, which can contain added
natural and artificial sweeteners. The WHO classifies red meat as a primary carcinogen
having the same risk for cancer as smoking. Processed foods are not only low in vital
nutrients like vitamins, minerals, fiber and antioxidants. They end up replacing the very
foods which can provide these nutrients and which give satisfaction and fullness.
WHOLE GRAINS like oats, wheat, quinoa, rice, corn and barley provide more
satisfaction and blood sugar control than other grains. This is because the grains have not
been stripped of the nutritious exteriors containing more vitamins, minerals and fiber. It
also is associated with better weight management, reduced belly fat and reduced risk for
heart disease and stroke.
Artificial ingredients for flavor and color are tied to a disruption of gut friendly bacteria
that play a role in immunity, mood and anti-inflammation. Foods like beet juice, turmeric
and saffron add color naturally, often with nutritional benefits.
Finally, and by no means not least: Reduce stress and get the proper amount of sleep. Do
not smoke! If you smoke, find resources to stop. You matter as does your wellbeing!
