A Healthy Lifestyle For the Entire Church

As a church this fall , we are focusing on building a sound lifestyle and culture that will enable us to endure for many years as missionaries both in Sweden and on the unreached mission fields... We have decided to become stronger spiritually, mentally and physically and that is why we as a church want to encourage fitness, ie sound diet and physical exercise. We want our members to have stamina for more and to be able to go on a demanding mission trip or festival when they are both 70 and 80 years old. The SOS people will parachute and begin rock climbing when they hit retirement at 65... Some one will dance Salsa with their wife when they become empty nesters and so on...



In line with this, on Saturday, Omid Dadary , a Swedish Iranian will hold a seminar at SOS Church on Kungsholmen with the theme “A Sound Lifestyle”. It will start at 2pm and end around 5pm. Everyone is welcome – we will also open up the Kids church for childcare during the seminar and there will be snacks as well (healthy ones of course) ;)... Omid Dadary was given the prize as Sweden's best PT (Personal Trainer) in 1999 and today his company Mind Over Matter has many PT:s on-board. He helps people in Stockholm of all ages to life a healthier life focusing on a healthy diet and regular functional training. During the day you will find Omid at Sport Life's premises either at Odenplan or on Karlavägen 100. Omid is also a passionate dancer with a four year degree at the Ballet Academy in Stockholm, with added courses during the years... Omid teaches Hip Hop, Jazz, and Street Dance at the Ballet Academy and travels to teach and coach on diets and training both in Sweden and Scandinavia... Omid is also a dietitian. I could go on with his CV but this is enough for you to understand that the seminar on Saturday is well worth attending...


Omid began to seriously seek God in January and came to believe in Jesus at a café during one of our conversations this past winter – we prayed the sinners prayer at the café table. He buried his old life in March when he was baptized and has since been an eager and hungry Bible reader and disciple of Jesus.

Now Omid wants to help everyone in SOSto life a healthier life and has volunteered to speak about a good diet and to pass along tips and advice for your work out at home during two Saturdays this fall. Omid is a well paid consultant but is donating these two Saturdays to the church;
- I want to do something for God and my church using what I have, he says... Thank you Omid! Generous! Instead, Omid wants everyone that shows up this Saturday to give 100 SEK to the homeless of Stockholm. Bring cash or your card to make a donation! Omid will have two Saturdays, Part 1 on Oct 3rd and Part 2 on Nov 21st – but you can join in on one of the occasions as well... This will be fun and beneficiary for all the SOS people! This is also a great opportunity to bring friends, colleagues and neighbors that you want to introduce to church!

Welcome!

See Ya!
