Our parish is over 100 years old. Our thinking is not.

The Healing Ministry
of St. George's

Healing Ministry

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.

Wednesdays at 7:30 p.m.
Healing Prayers
& Holy Eucharist

Our regular Wednesday evening service at 7:30 p.m. is a Eucharist with healing prayers incorporated into the liturgy. It's quiet, beautiful 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.

Monthly
Healing Ministry Meetings

There is a monthly open meeting for those interested in the topic of Christian healing or healing prayer in general – usually, but not always, held on the first Saturday of the month from 10:00 a.m. until noon.
