The Healing Ministry
of St. George's
St. George's healing ministry is based on the belief that healing is primarily a spiritual process whose source is God. Healing can be effectively channeled not just by medical professionals, but in many ways, not the least of which is the anointing and laying on of hands by a supportive prayer partner. We believe that God's Spirit is abundantly active in our lives and offers healing of the spirit to all who ask. The healing may or may not take the shape of physical healing, but the real gift is to the spirit of the one seeking God's love.
Healing has grown into an important aspect of St. George’s full ministry, expressed in several ways. We look forward to offering even more opportunities to anyone who shares this interest.
First Saturday of the month
Healing Ministry Meetings
On the first Saturday of each month from 10 a.m. to noon there is an open meeting for those interested in the topic of Christian healing or healing prayer in general. There are many traditions from the East and West regarding spiritual healing as well as emotional and physical healing. We gather together with our different understandings and experiences, and these meetings provide a community to share these conversations and learn from each other. The meetings begin with meditation and often include Bible study, anointing with oil, and praying together for our own petitions and those of others. We continue to be open to anyone with an interest in learning or sharing.
Wednesdays at 7:30 p.m.
Healing Services
Our regular Wednesday evening service at 7:30 p.m. is a Eucharist with healing prayers included in the context of this service. It's beautiful, quiet and perfect for prayer support.
Sunday morning services
Prayer Stations
At our Sunday morning services, prayer stations are set up so people can stop by on their way back from communion to be greeted by a person who acts as Intercessor. The Intercessor hears the petition and offers a prayer quietly and confidentially addressing the issues.
Speakers & Workshops
Our ministry has hosted speakers and workshops on traditional prayer and has included other topics such as Therapeutic Touch and Centering Prayer.
