Mission:
To provide gentle support to parishioners in times of crisis and/or change through prayer, the laying on of hands, and anointing with oil. Believing that God’s compassion is healing and guided by humble obedience to Jesus’ call for his disciples to heal, Christians in community can participate in “bearing one another’s burdens” with prayer and ancient rituals through the power of the Holy Spirit.     

Time Commitment:
2-4 hours per month before and during regular church service.

Benefits:
This ministry rewards anyone who may be called to allow the Holy Spirit to work through them in promoting healing. 

What’s Included:
On Sunday mornings during the Holy Eucharist at the 8:45 a.m. and 11:15 a.m. liturgies, members of the Healing Prayer Ministry assist parishioners who come into the Chapel seeking prayers for the healing of body, mind, and spirit and for the ability to manage peacefully life’s suffering. The prayer request may be for others, the parishioner, or both, and the process includes anointing with oil that has been blessed. This is such an important ministry that before you are brought into the group, you will meet with one of the priests for training.
