Healing Ministry
Contrary to the notice in the newsletter regarding the start of the healing ministry this month, with the 6th wave of Covid upon us, Beth and I have decided to wait until further on in the Spring when it will be safer to begin our Reiki practice. We are sorry to have to make this decision, but find it necessary at this time. Thank you for your understanding. Carol Wells-Gordon & Beth Halliday
