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.

Lament is a heartfelt expression of sorrow for the pain and suffering that we both experience and witness in the world around us. It is a broken-hearted cry out to God that the world is not as it should be. Lament is not simply a complaint, but an invitation to bring our broken hearts to God, to meet Jesus IN the grief, instead of trying to escape or whitewash over it. This week we invite you to dig deep into the sacred space of lament in various forms.
