Three activities— communicating a Christian message, establishing community and performing service—express our mission of Christian healing. This publication in no way seeks to diagnose or treat illness or to serve as a substitute for professional medical care. Please see your physician if you have a health problem. Community Events COMMUNITY HEART EDUCATION Richard Guynes, MD, will discuss the Dr. Dean Ornish Program for Reversing Heart Disease. By being active, eating better and reducing stress, and through group support and sharing, you can reverse heart disease and its symptoms. It's about feeling better, not just living longer. In the words of Dr. Dean Ornish, it's about "how to live in the world more fully, not how to withdraw from it."
