Healing

Picture
The Sacrament of Unction, or healing is not reserved just for people who are near death. God still heals people today, emotionally, spiritually, physically, and sometimes all three at once.

We are always willing to pray for you. You may call for prayer, ask for you or someone you love to be put on the prayer chain. On Sunday's if you need personal prayer please don't hesitate to ask the pastor for prayer.

Since antiquity, Christians have prayed for healing. Uction or Anointing (putting a small amount of blessed oil on someone) for healing is a very ancient sacramental sign of God's love for our bodies. We pray for healing for any kind of illness. 

This does not mean that we ignore doctors and medicine. Quite the contrary. We believe that God is the giver of all good gifts including the healing professions, and the practice of medicine. We encourage people to seek medical treatment whenever necessary.  Caring for your body is a way of showing thanks to God for the gift you have been given. 

When people are near death we also want to anoint them with oil as a sign of an even deeper healing. For we believe that even death cannot separate us from the love of God shown in Jesus Christ.  
See funerals.
