Healing and Communion Service
You are welcome to join us for a
Healing Service in the Chapel of Harcourt United Church.
Come to a sacred space to share in communion, prayers for healing, music and companionship. All are welcome who seek healing - for themselves, for those they love, for a world in need. Following the service there will be practitioners available to offer Therapeutic Touch for those who desire it.
In our service we shall name particular people, places and situations for which prayers have been specifically asked. We do this because each person and situation is known to God, not as a problem to be solved, but as a focus for God's acceptance and love. We are not seeking to change God but to change the world; and we trust God that our prayers will be answered, although we do not know when or how healing will happen.
There will also be an opportunity for those who wish to come forward to receive or share in the ministry of the laying-on of hands. This can be either for themselves or for another person or situation. In and through this we affirm that the ministry of healing is not restricted to particular individuals but is a corporate, inclusive process – the work of the whole Christian community in which we all have a part to play. God's healing purpose, the promise of God's fulfilling and sustaining love, is for every one of us. Whether we choose to come forward or to remain seated in prayer and concern, God can use our presence in this service.
