- Promote healthy lifestyle choices through seminars and workshops, giving information in such areas as exercise, nutrition and stress management.
- Make possible early detection and treatment of illness through health screenings.
- Provide appropriate resources and advocacy to individuals and to the community.

Caregivers
Many people sacrifice their lives for others through administering care to the sick and disabled loved ones. These “caregivers” are in need of a support mechanism which will allow them the opportunity to shed some of the emotional stresses that accompany caring for another individual.
Lilydale First Baptist Church provides support to these individuals in the form of a support group: “Caregivers: A Partnership In Sharing.”

Caregiver Tip #26—Dear Caregiver – Know that God wants you to know that you are useful for His kingdom. There is no such thing as an insignificant person to Him. You are important in God’s eyes and He has an incredible plan for your life. Remember: We are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them. Ephesians 2:1 Be encouraged, be blessed and continue being a blessing.
