Lexington Park, MD – It appears it will take a whole lot of rain or some other severe weather event to stop the faithful from Dominion Apostolic Church. Members of the Lexington Park Church, family and friends huddled in the heavy downpour of Saturday morning, Oct. 1 at a picnic shelter in Lancaster Park waiting for the rain to stop.
The group participated in a walk to raise awareness about breast cancer. The walkers included three breast cancer survivors.
“We want to raise awareness and to promote a healthy lifestyle,” said LaKer Barber, who along with Twanda Spence, organized the event. “We also want everyone to take advantage of the great facilities that are available to the community. And we want to celebrate people who are overcoming such a big challenge.”
Proceeds from the walk will go to MedStar St. Mary’s Hospital’s Cancer Care and Infusion facility.
According to Barber, the church is planning a health fair next spring to promote mammograms, yearly checkups and exercise. The event will also include free blood pressure checks and information on heart disease.
