HEALING PRAYER
When we pray for physical healing, we are responding to the
scripture "Is anyone of you sick? He should call the elders of the
church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the
Lord." (James 5:14)
We give thanks to God that skilled medical professionals
with their abundance of knowledge, are indispensable parts of modern
life. Yet, we believe that Jesus is still the great Physician and
Healer. The Healing Prayer Team is growing in their knowledge and
education to aid them in their call to pray for those seeking physical,
emotional and spiritual healing.
Lay people, who are called, committed and trained to pray
for physical, emotional and spiritual healing with those who seek it
carry out this ministry. We seek to provide a safe and confidential
setting in the church where people can come to receive personal prayer
with a team of two or three healing prayer ministers. Healing prayer
teams are now available on the fourth Sunday of the month and on any
Sunday when requested.
We welcome your testimonies of healing. They will encourage
and bless us all!
TAIZÉ PRAYER SERVICE
Join us in this beautiful historic church for the mystery
of worship using candles, chants and silence as "windows"
through which we all may more deeply experience the Presence of God. The
worship of a Taizé Prayer Service is marked by depth and simplicity
based on the form of liturgy known as "The Prayer" developed
by the ecumenical brothers of Taizé monastic community in France. In an
atmosphere of candlelight and singing, the service offers as opportunity
to meditate and experience peace and an uplifting of spirit. Silence is
a central part of the service. The beauty of the sanctuary of the
Nicholas Chapel offers the perfect setting for such a service. A Taizé
Prayer Service feels comfortable the very first time you attend because
of its simplicity. The service is held on the first Saturday of each
month at 8.00am. For further information contact Diana Day 01245 420124
