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.

Get Connected

It's easy to feel like an outsider, especially in the church. We want to change that. We're striving to create a community where we all belong and no one goes through life alone. And that includes you.

JOIN A LIFE GROUP

Life Groups

Life Groups are smaller communities where people learn to eat together, pray together, and love together. Most of our Life Groups consist of 8-12 people who meet weekly or bi-weekly in fall, winter, and spring.

Joining a Life Group initially takes a risk, but we believe it’s well-worth the payoff. It’s worth it to realize that life doesn’t have to be lived on your own. It’s worth it to find a place where you can ask honest questions and learn from the experiences of others. It’s worth finding people who are in your corner when you need it most, and discovering you can be that person for others.

And it’s worth it because, not only is life better together, but our Life Groups and our church will be better with you in them!
