The Sacrament of Healing / Sunday at 8:00 a.m. & 10:15 a.m. & beyond
Each Sunday the sacrament of anointing and prayers for healing is offered during Holy Communion. Following the ancient healing tradition described in Scripture, our clergy use special sacramental oil, delicately scented, to make the sign of the Cross in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, on the foreheads of all who come for healing prayer. At our 10:15 a.m. service, the clergy are assisted by healing teams. Consistent with our “open Altar” where all are welcome to receive Holy Communion, the sacrament of anointing and prayers for healing is available to anyone who desires healing support for themselves or for others—for physical, emotional and spiritual needs, including healing of relationships, memories, and freedom from addictions. You may come to any Healing Station in silence or with a whispered, specific request. Healing requests are held in strict confidence. The Sacrament of Healing is also available for those who are ill at home, preparing for surgery or other medical challenges, in hospital or care facilities. Contact one of our clergy to request a visit.
