GUIDING SCRIPTURE:

MINISTRY TEAMS & CONTACTS:

16Rejoice always, 17pray without ceasing, 18give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
(1 Thessalonians 5:16-18)
Prayer is the way a disciple enjoys an intimate relationship with God. Prayer can be private or public, ritualized or conversational, silent or out loud, spoken or sung, words or action, simple or profound. Through prayer God’s will is discerned and greater clarity is gained from our journey. Prayer is powerful. God’s creative, redeeming and healing power is often directed through prayer.
Prayer is Adoration (praise, honoring, God), Confession (saying I’m sorry,” acknowledging sin, that “I can’t do it on my own”), Thanksgiving (saying thanks, counting blessings, allowing God’s perspective to shape life) and Supplication (asking for, praying for others, petitionary in character)-ACTS. The Lords Prayer and Luther's interpretation in the Small Catechism provide ample instruction for the content and elements of prayer and a prayerful life.

Healing Service
Pray & Worship Tables
In his ministry Jesus performed many different acts of healing – forgiving of sins, casting out demons, curing physical disease, correcting physical defects and deformities. At his command his disciples continued a ministry of healing which included the laying on of hands and the anointing with oil all who sought relief. The church continues these practices as part of its ministry in Christ’s name and at his command. The Pray and Worship Tables offer this service as our celebration of the Lesser Festival of St. Luke, the Evangelist. In the tradition of the church Luke is thought to have been a physician and so it is appropriate to continue his ministry of bringing wholeness to all who seek it, in Christ’s name.
