‘The Roc” at 115 Putman Street across from First Baptist Church in downtown Sulphur Springs will host the free Health Fair on April 3, 2018 from 9am until 12 noon
Serving the senior citizens community is just one of the many hats worn by Fred Lewis, Associate Pastor at First Baptist Church in Sulphur Springs. He approaches this annual spring event, the 60-Plus Health Fair, with the same enthusiasm and joy as his varied opportunities to serve his community and congregation. He invites you to take advantage of this helpful, resource-rich health fair on Tuesday morning, April 3, from 9 am til noon at ‘The Roc’, 115 Putman Street near downtown Sulphur Springs.
The gym-sized venue will be filled with vendors who work in the medical and care-giving community. Health screenings and a wide variety of health-related information will be available free of charge, from simple screenings like blood pressure and cholesterol checks to more specialized needs like foot checks for diabetics and the latest in mobility equipment. Chair massages, freshly baked cookies and helpful household gadgets will also be offered at various vendor booths. Sign up for door prizes; these will be awarded at 11:45am just before the close of the fair.
This is Fred Lewis’ 37th year serving the Sulphur Springs and Hopkins County community through his work at First Baptist Church. Although a Florida native, Fred became a Texan when he attended Baylor University. He met his wife Linda while attending Southwestern Seminary in Ft Worth. After pastoring churches in the northeastern part of the United States, he returned to Texas at the invitation of Dr. Redmon. He joined the SSFBC staff in 1981 and they have made their permanent home in Sulphur Springs. Lewis feels that Sulphur Springs is blessed with great people and bountiful resources that benefit senior citizens.

The center receives no government or grant assistance, but operates entirely on a donation basis, and on fundraisers such as the first-annual 3K Run and Family Fun Walk from Celebration Plaza on the morning of April 7. In addition to the co-directors, Heart of Hope has nine volunteer staffers. The Center is open for walk-ins from 9-5 Tuesdays and Thursdays, and by appointment.

Services include free pregnancy tests and sonograms, referrals to doctors, to WIC and Medicaid and referrals to adoption center, if the client seeks this.

This series instructs about wellness and nutrition for mom and baby, labor, childbirth and how to care for an infant. It is done online in the center, and once completed, earns the client “Mommy Money” or Daddy Dollars” to spend in the Center’s “Baby Boutique” which is similar to a shop with items that babies will need from cribs to car seats to clothing.

*Last Chance – Ends Today* AMEX Increases Bonus On Popular Business Credit Card
Apply for the AMEX Starwood Business Card and get up to 35,000 Starwood (SPG) points! This is a very lucrative sign-up bonus if you have enough spending coming up in the next few months. Once you meet the initial spending requirements and receive the SPG points, you can then transfer them to Marriott (which is what I did) and receive 3X Marriott Points. So if you accumulate and transfer 40,000 SPG points, you will receive 120,000 Marriott Points which is more than enough for four nights on the Riverwalk in San Antonio! That could be a savings of over $1,200 on just one hotel stay! Although technically a Business Card, you can still apply if you don’t have an EIN number, by using your Social Security number for a home-based business (selling on ebay, etc).
