We are thanking God, excited and looking forward to the great impact our new van will have in our church and in the community.

With that said, our pastor, Dr. Jamison Hunter is asking 100 people who Love God, Love Our Church, and have a Love For the People to please partner with him in this endeavor to make an IMPACT on our ministry and add a second van.

Our deadline is March 31 to give a seed/gift of $400. You can give in-person via check and note your envelope number and “Transit”, or you can give on our platforms (OSV or Givelify) and select the “Transit $400.00” tab.

Black History Month is an annual celebration of achievements by African Americans and a time for recognizing their central role in U.S. history. Also known as African American History Month, the event grew out of “Negro History Week,” the brainchild of noted historian Carter G. Woodson and other prominent African Americans. Since 1976, every U.S. president has officially designated the month of February as Black History Month. Other countries around the world, including Canada and the United Kingdom, also devote a month to celebrating Black history.

February is American Heart Month, a time when all people can focus on their cardiovascular health. The Division for Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention is shining a light on hypertension (high blood pressure), a leading risk factor for heart disease and stroke.

Know Your Numbers:

High blood pressure is often called the "silent killer" because you can’t generally feel if you have it. But you may have warning signs that you write off as stress. Get your blood pressure checked at least once a year! Find resources to manage your blood pressure from @TheHeartTruth: www.nhlbi.nih.gov/hypertension.

According to the America Heart Association,morethanoneinthreewomenis livingwithsomeformofcardiovasculardisease.Forwomen,heartdiseaseisdeadlier thanmostcancerscombined!Heartdiseaseandstrokecauseoneinthreedeaths amongwomeneachyear.

What are heart attack symptoms in women?

“It’s more difficult in women to identify heart disease,” said Dr. Hagau. “We used to think women were more protected from heart disease until menopause due to estrogen production, but we are seeing younger and younger women who are coming in with heart disease or having heart attacks.” Here are a few differences in heart attack symptoms to watch for:

•Painduringsleep

•Suddenonsetofextremefatigue

•Drenchingsweat

•Elbowandneckpain

•Shortnessofbreath

•Nauseaorvomiting

•Dizziness

•Tightnessinchest

•Breathlessness

Here are some changes you can make today:

o Follow a heart healthy diet

o Exercise regularly

o Quit smoking

o Know your A1C, blood pressure, cholesterol and weight

o Know your family history

o Monitor your alcohol intake

o Take your prescribed medications

o Monitor your stress levels

The following organizations are good resources for information on heart disease:

• American Heart Association www.heart.org

• Centers for Disease Control and Prevention www.cdc.gov/heartdisease

• National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health-topics/education-andawareness/heart-truth
