From the Community Intern
Healing Prayer Ministries

Healing Prayer is one of the oldest Christian traditions. In addition to the many stories of Jesus healing those who came to him for help, the Epistles tell us that the apostles prayed for those who needed help. When we pray for healing for ourselves or someone we love, we are asked that God be present with us in the midst our brokenness or illness, and that we would be open to the transformation that the presence of God produces. While healing takes many forms, I think the act of praying for one another also reminds us that we are bound together in a common life, and that we are all in need of God’s healing grace. 
If you are someone you know is need of healing, you are invited to right their name on the sheet on the stage in Hannaford Hall or in the back of the Church. We will pray for those during a Public Service of Healing Prayer on Saturday, March 21 st , at 11:00 AM. During this service we will also pray for one another, and there will be opportunity to be anointed by a priest with holy oil (known as Unction). After this service, we will have lunch and conversation around healing.
There will also be an opportunity to pray as part of a Prayer Vigil on Maundy Thursday, April 9. This vigil is based on Jesus request, “could you not stay awake with me one hour,” (Matthew 26:40).

During the Maundy Thursday Prayer Vigil you are invited to join the parish as we pray throughout the night, each of those participating committing to one hour of prayer, praying for what is important during the night between Maundy Thursday and Good Friday. 

Sincerely,
Nathan Harpine
