Keeping our pets safe helps to keep us healthy!  Erie County Department of Health is offering drive-thru rabies vaccination clinics in September that are FREE of charge with registration.

Sometimes the path on our life journey is smooth, unencumbered, & very clear.  Other times our life is tumultuous & full of challenges.  Often, we have no control over the circumstances we encounter along our path of life. However, we do have choices as to how we view the situations we encounter, whether they are smooth & unencumbered or whether they are tumultuous & our view affects our actions. The question is, when we encounter a challenge & get stuck or lose our way, how do we regain our vision, balance & focus so we can move forward on a smooth path of whole life once again?

God is our answer & we meet Him, spirit to spirit, when we engage in the gift of sacred pausing. We need places that are larger than the sum of their parts in order to remind us that we are all larger than the sum of our earthly body, mind, & spirit. It is our prayer that all God’s people will make time to meet God in those sacred moments & receive His gift of healing.
