On Sunday, October 19, 2025, the Women's Ministry and Health Ministry teams of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Santa Cruz de Tenerife held a very special day dedicated to the holistic well-being of women. The event, which was organized for the second consecutive year after the positive experience of the previous year, brought together more than fifty participants, including some visitors, and benefited from the valuable collaboration of several husbands. All this took place in an atmosphere of fellowship, joy, and reflection.
A natural and spiritual environment, ideal for fellowship
The meeting took place once again in the beautiful La Granja Park, which is very close to our church. It is an ideal environment for enjoying nature and strengthening both body and mind. The morning began with a brief moment of spiritual reflection, focusing on the importance of maintaining a balance between physical care and spiritual life, remembering that our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. Next, a young brother, a future professional in the field of physical education, led a dynamic session of exercises and games that filled everyone present with energy and marked the beginning of an active and healthy morning.
After the physical activity, the team offered a delicious and nutritious breakfast, prepared with love and care, which allowed everyone to recharge their batteries and enjoy a pleasant get-together. During breakfast, experiences, laughter, and inspiring conversations were shared, and there was also time for a fun raffle with surprises, such as natural creams, herbal teas, toothbrushes, and other gifts that added a touch of excitement to the day.
Health as an expression of faith
Beyond enjoyment, this day seeks to promote awareness of the importance of caring for the body as part of spiritual development, while also showing our neighboring community the church's commitment to a healthy and balanced lifestyle. Above all, we thank God for allowing us to gather in fellowship and for guiding us in the practice of the principles of health and faith that we share, without forgetting the brothers and sisters who so lovingly prepared and organized the activity. As the apostle Paul says, “Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you...? Glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's” (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). This quote reminds us that taking care of our health is also an expression of worship and gratitude to our Creator.
