Friend Carolyn Helstrom is 73 years old. She went into Loyalist Retirement residence Nov. 3, 2025. She had a fall and concussion over 2 years ago. She saw a Neurologist in August but has no diagnosis as yet. She struggles to think straight and her ability to walk without a walker is not possible now. Both parents had dementia and she may have early onset of this. I would like prayer for her. She is anxious and fearful. She is a longtime Presbyterian. Her church was in Stamford area of Niagara Falls. I prayed with her today and she was so grateful. Thankyou. Liz Field, new person at Southridge since Sept. 2025.

Contemplations
Imaginative Prayer | Wounded Healer

I want to invite you to close your eyes and picture your hurt – the ways you’ve experienced pain and hurt in the church, maybe generally or maybe very specifically or even recently – picture it as an actual wound on your body. 

Reflection
Celebration

If Joy was a colour, what would it be? If Joy was a food, what would it be? If Joy was a place, where is that place?

On Eagles Wings

No matter your age, young or old, at times life can be exhausting. We carry all kinds of pressure at work, or school, in family, or even with friends.
