Diabetes from page BJ major health disparity that plagues so many communi ties. African-Americans and other racial and ethnic minorities have a higher prevalence of diabetes and also have higher rates of complications. Diabetes is considered a health threat affecting nearly 26 million Americans. The disease is the seventh leading cause of death in the United States, costing an estimated $245 billion per year. The free diabetes train ings will not only be offered to HOSEA partner churches, but to all Winston-Salem and sur rounding area churches. Free trainings Trainings will be con ducted on the campus of the individual churches and scheduled based on church preference dates and times. Information sessions regarding the registration process will be conducted at Rupert Bell Recreation Center 6 to 7:30 pm. April 26, May 24, June 28, July 26, August 23, and Sept. 27. All information ses sions will begin promptly at 6 p.m. The free diabetes train ings will be facilitated by HOSEA Project Partner Alliant Quality. AUiant Quality, contracted by CMS, is the Quality Innovation Network Quality Improvement Organization for Georgia and North Carolina. A healthcare consulting organization, Alliant Quality is dedicated to improving the quality, safe ty and integrity of health care. A key component of their identity involves forming professional part nerships to extend out: reach, effectiveness, increase value and accessi bility of healthcare. Trainings will be available through 2019. As a compliment to its prediabetes education, HOSEA Partner Church Union Chapel Baptist Church began its diabetes management trainings March 17. Deltra Bonner, one of two Union Chapel liaisons, has been instru mental in their project implementation. "Having successfully participated in other care fully selected studies, our retention rate in the HOSEA Project has been high because our members feel their participation is in their best interest. Additionally, Pastor [Konnie G.] Robinson played an integral role in recruiting members and is actually participating in tlje study." The overarching impact of both prediabetes educa tion and diabetes manage ment training provides HOSEA an opportunity to increase health education and the importance of mak ing lifestyle changes to combat diabetes and other health-related issues. "When we know better we can do better is a philoso phy shared among many members participating in the study. The HOSEA project provides us with an opportunity for great fel lowship, great fun and a great learning experience," said Bonner. The HOSEA Project is guided by the Division of Nursing and the Department of Health, Physical Education and Sport Studies. Purposely named "The HOSEA Project" based on the scrip ture Hosea 4:6: "My people perish for a lack of knowl edge" has a goal to utilize the African-American church to address diabetes prevention in the African American communities by training pastors and con gregations to educate and empower others.

Lesson from page BJ Lesson: Jesus was buried late Friday after noon by Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus in accordance with Jewish law requiring burial of corpses before the Sabbath. After the Sabbath Mary Magdalene, Salome, and Mary the mother of James bought spices to anoint Jesus' body. Going very early Sunday morning while it was still dark, the women wonder how they will have the stone block ing the tomb's entrance removed. But finding the tomb open, the women enter and encounter a man in white apparel who tells them that Jesus of Nazareth who was crucified and had been dead was no longer dead but resurrected. Because He had broken the grip of death, He was no longer in the sepulcher (see Mark8:31; 9:9, 31:10:34). The women were also invited by the angel to examine the spot where Jesus had been placed. They found the burial clothes undisturbed because Jesus had passed through them. Note here also that the sepulcher was not opened to let Jesus out, but to let the women in. The angel then tells the women not to be fright ened, but to go and tell the disciples and Peter that Jesus is going ahead to meet them in Galilee. The women leave and don't speak to anyone until they are united with the disci ples who don't believe them. Peter however, had to see for himself and went to the sepulchre (Luke 24:11-12). "There is a great deal of historical evidence for Jesus' resurrection. Ours is the only religion that includes a risen savior; we can fully trust in Him." (Union Gospel Press, Keith E. Eggert) For Your Consideration: What might have been the purpose of having an angel greet the women rather than the risen Jesus Himself? Why were the women to direct the disci ples to Galilee when Jesus would appear to them that very night in Jerusalem? Life's Application: As Christians we need to rec ognize the importance of affirming that Jesus' resur rection actually took place. But how do we do it? We do so by cultivating a per sonal relationship with the risen Lord in our daily life. When we pursue a personal relationship witij our Savior, we show that we truly believe He is alive, having been raised from the dead. There are many ways we can express our faith in Christ's resurrec tion, but whatever way we do it, we show our trust and hope in the resurrected Lord. (David C.
