We need a move of God. Our culture is truly at a crossroad and nothing brings healing and hope like a fresh, mighty move of God!!!

That is exactly what we, and over a dozen Wagner area Churches, have been praying will take place this coming Wednesday, September 24th at WCS - Wagner Red Raider Nation (Wagner High School).

The Todd Becker Foundation's "Hear the Story. Be Moved." event is a powerful reminder that God can, and still does, bring redemption and new life from tragic events.

If you're not familiar with the Todd Becker Foundation, this is a very moving, life-changing story about 18-year-old Todd Becker who was killed in a drunk driving accident as a senior in high school. From that tragedy, Todd's brother Keith was deeply impacted by his need to turn away from the "highway to destruction" and follow Christ on the "Narrow Road." This story has been heard by over 150,000 high school students across the Midwest, and has brought countless lives to Jesus Christ.

You will truly be moved by this event!

Features the Christian touring band, "All the Noise." Doors open at 6:40 pm, event from 7-9. Free admission. All are welcome!

A big thanks goes to the many Wagner area Churches and ministries for bringing in this special event:

The Lighthouse
All Tribes Fellowship
The Lighthouse Fellowship, Corsica SD
Avon First Baptist Church
South Dakota FCA (Wagner FCA Huddle)
Wagner United Methodist Church
Emmanuel Reformed Church
Armour Community Church (Armour, SD)
East Lake Andes Lutheran Church (Lake Andes, SD)
Wagner Community Church
St. Paul Catholic Church (Marty, SD)
St. Leo the Great Church (Tyndall, SD)
St. John the Baptist Church (Wagner, SD)

HI!!!! Those of you who have known me prior to my "Just Paws" retirement venture know how much I love to spend time with kids. Recently I decided I need to go back to spending more time with them. I will now be taking a 'Lunch Hour' at my business and spend that time at school volunteering in the lunchroom to get my kid fix. 🥰 I will be leaving here at 10:30 and returning @ 12:15 each day Monday through Friday when school is in session. Please work with me to help you meet your needs for dog care and grooming while I meet my need for interaction with children. Thanks so very much!!!!

Our conversation disappeared….. can you message me
Again,
Please?

Hello Everyone! This post is to let you all know I am making some business hour changes. My pet business venture is going excellent thanks to all of you! My personal time is in need of some changes, though. In an effort to meet the needs of my clientele, I have not been very good at balancing the personal part of my life. I am going to make some changes that I hope will continue to meet your needs and still leave me a bit of space for me. Right now, I am starting at 8:00 am and ending my workday around 9:30 pm. It is a bit too much for me. :-)
I am changing to a 7:45 am start (earlier drop-offs can be arranged with me if necessary) I will be stopping with pick-ups and drop-offs at 5:45 pm most days so I can start the last run with dogs and feeding time for the evening. (later drop off can be arranged with me if necessary). By making these changes will hopefully end my workday at closer to a 12-hour day rather than 14. Fridays will have an earlier close time (5:30 pm) so I can take my grandkids to church for children’s time. On Sundays, I will be opening at 1:00 rather than noon and closing at 6:00 for pickups and drop-offs. Tuesdays will still be my cleaning days and I will still leave at noon to give space for my wonderful cleaner to do her magic – dogs get to spend their afternoon napping in their crates, but arrangements can be made for pickup and drop off if necessary.
So, the hours of business for clients will be 7:45-5:45 Monday – Thursday and Saturday, Friday 7:45- 5:30, Sunday 1-6.

Day of week open close notes
Monday 7:45 am 5:45 pm
Tuesday 7:45 am 5:45 pm Cleaning day
Wednesday 7:45 am 5:45 pm
Thursday 7:45 am 5:45 pm
Friday 7:45 am 5:30 pm Grandkids to kid’s church
Saturday 7:45 am 5:45 pm
Sunday 1:00 pm 6:00 pm Church day

Do fleas die in winter? No, they do not. Colder temperatures slow down their life cycle, but they can still hitch a ride on your dog.
