Healing Pathway is healing through prayer, meditation and the laying on of hands, to reclaim the healing ministry that Jesus taught to the disciples. Techniques are similar to those used in Therapeutic Touch and adapted for this United Church program. Treatments will begin again at Summerlea United on Tuesday mornings with Irene Turner. Call Irene Mackie Turner at 514-626-9152 and reserve your time.
