August is well underway, and we will have enjoyed the Eden Corn Festival, the Chautauqua and Cattaraugus County Fairs and we now look forward to the Erie County Fair! So much food to sample. In a few weeks the NYS Fair begins and many of us will gather at the Indian Village to reconnect with friends and family. It’s good to renew friendships and make new memories. Also, in a few weeks our students will be returning to school or college. Pray for their success and safety.
In July the Cattaraugus community suffered a great loss when the Newtown Longhouse was destroyed by fire. As many of the Longhouse elders said, a new building can be built and new memories will be made. It has been inspirational to see our community come together to help build the new Longhouse.
Please continue to pray for healing in our communities – whether it be spiritual, emotional, or physical healing. Please continue to pray for those in our communities who are affected by drug or alcohol abuse, those who are struggling with illness and those who are mourning the loss of a loved one. Pray for their families. We all need healing. Prayer is powerful and it can bring about astounding results.
You and your family are invited to join us at Four Corners for worship on Sunday morning at 9am. We have coffee ready before and after the service! You will hear words and song that will carry you through the week. And don’t forget, the Seneca Hymn Singers meet the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of every month at 7pm. Peace to all.
