SERVICE OF HEALING

by Pastor LisaMarie Doerrmann

All who desire God’s healing in any aspect of their lives, and those they care for, are invited to join in a service of prayer for spiritual, emotional, and physical healing.

When we think about “healing” we understand it in a broad way. Everyone needs healing in some dimension of life, whether physical, emotional, spiritual, or relational. The gift of healing is not limited to physical healing, or to those seeking relief for a particular illness or disease. It also refers to those working through stages of grief, coming to terms with lifethreatening illness, or accepting inevitable death.

Lord of Life will host a Service of Healing on March 26 at 7pm. We will offer Holy Communion, comforting prayer, and an opportunity to receive an anointing with the laying on of hands. Come and find God’s love, compassion forgiveness, and grace for you and all people, in all stages of life and faith journeys.

The Gospel of Luke tells us that “Jesus sent his disciples out to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick” (Luke 9:2). The practice of laying on of hands has deep roots in the apostolic tradition of healing ministry. Anointing the forehead with oil in the sign of a cross is remembrance of our baptism. These are powerful signs of God’s presence in our lives.

All are invited. Come and be renewed in God’s love.
