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.

Community Reading Plan

As a community, we want to get to know Jesus through the spiritual practice of daily quiet, prayer, and scripture reading:

Revelation
Read and reflect on the teaching passage from Revelation through the week.

Gospel of John
Read and reflect on a chapter from the Gospel of John through the week.

Psalms
Read and pray a Psalm each day.

Practical Reading Tips

1) Commit to (at least) 15 min a day for quiet reading and prayer.
Embracing this habit may be the most life-changing opportunity.

2) Start with 30-60 seconds of silence, taking deep breaths to quiet your mind and heart. Pray this prayer: “Speak Jesus, I’m listening.”

3) For Revelation and John, read on the first day, or consider re-reading each day, or break into small chunks through the week.

4) Read the Psalm for the day as a prayer, speaking to God and letting God speak to you. Pick one line that stands out to you as your personal prayer for the day.

5) Start wherever you are, not where you think you should be.

No Body but Yours

About 500 years ago, there was a woman by the name of Teresa of Avila, who was a nun and a mystic who left behind several books, poems, prayers, practices that many to this day still find inspiring. One of her well-loved poems is called, “Christ Has No Body”.

Christmas Breath Prayer | Love Moves In

Close your eyes right now, and place your hand on your chest overtop of your heart for a minute. Can you feel it beating there? Proof that you’re alive. Proof that God loved the idea of you so much that he actually breathed you into existence.
