So often we complain, blame and sometimes even shame others and ourselves- but we can stop that unhelpful noise and actually do something that matters. No one has all the "answers" but together we CAN make a difference. If you've said this isn't the world you want to see–please join in choosing small steps that MATTER. Let's craft a path of love within and without. Wednesday September 23, 2026! See below for registration. . Joseph's Church, Olean.

Our regular volunteer Theresa is hard at work patching up Beethoven, our much beloved giant stuffed dog in the Children's Area.

Don't worry, though, he'll be all healed up and ready for when our Reading is Ruff Club resumes in October! When our regularly scheduled therapy dogs can't make it, Beethoven is happy to stand in and be read to by the kids.

Interested in our Reading Is Ruff Club? It will start back up, along with our other weekly children's programs, the week of October 19th. Registration opens September 28th.
