My sister in law Jacquie ( only 59) has been type 1 diabetic her whole life. After chemo for breast cancer last year and the aftercare medications she has hard a hard time keeping her sugars in check Long story short she has had 3 emergency surgeries in the last 2 weeks resulting in an amputation just above her knee, today we were told the surgery was not successful and she will potentially have another surgery on Thursday, if this one doesn’t work they have said that there is nothing more they can do. John is looking at flights as I write but we would appreciate Gods protection over Jacquie and the medical team. Also comfort for the whole family. Jacquie is not a follower of Jesus so Id also like prayer that she will turn to God through this time and that she would feel his comfort, love and presence

Whether you’re just checking out an online service, or if you’re wanting to join us in person, we’d love to welcome you to our Welland location.

As you may be experiencing yourself, there are increasing challenges with affordability in Niagara. For many of our neighbours the struggle has become severe. Through Southridge Kitchen, you can participate in community dinners, collective cooking programs, and social programing, all through mutual relationships.
