Praise & Healing Service

The Praise & Healing Service takes place on the 2nd Sunday in the Month at 6.30pm and lasts about 45 minutes to an hour.

The venue for this service in the summer is in Church and in winter it is in the workshop. This is a quiet service with time for prayers for healing during and at the end of the service. There isn't a set service - we sing some songs, have a bible reading, a reflection or poem and prayer. Refreshments are served from 6pm.

The next Prayer, Praise & Healing Service will be on Sunday 8th August. Coffee will be served from 6.00 pm and the service will start at 6.30 pm. This is an opportunity to praise God in a relaxed informal atmosphere and to seek his touch for our healing in body mind and spirit.

Praise & Healing Service - FAQ

When is it?
Monthly, usually on the second Sunday in the month at 6.30pm

Where is it?
In winter, in the Workshop and in the summer in Holy Trinity Church Rosemary Lane.

What is it like?
We pray for healing and offer the opportunity to be prayed with after every service, but at this service we come before God with a special focus on seeking healing for ourselves, those who we love, and the world in which we live.

What do we mean by Healing?
One way to answer that question is by asking another one, ……. would you describe healing as an event or a process? Are we talking about answers to prayer in which a person who was obviously sick is physically healed, …...or are we talking about something else. People often think about healing as one time events, because that is how they think it was in Jesus’s ministry. He said a word or touched the person and they were instantly healed. If we look a bit deeper we find that we can usually see a process there.

• First the person suspects there is something wrong with them physically, mentally, or spiritually.
• Secondly they have to admit to themselves and later to others, that there is something wrong.
• Thirdly they have to accept help be it from those in the medical field who made the diagnoses, or from concerned Christians offering prayer.
• Finally there is a new life style. Most healing requires a change in life style of some sort, whether it is giving up smoking, or trying to forgive someone who destroyed your childhood.

We can see there is always a process of some sort involved in healing.

Healing for the individual includes well being peace, joy, harmony and faith, as well as physical, emotional and spiritual health and a biblical understanding of all that may be summed up in the word wholeness.

Healing may described as a growth or transformation into wholeness.

If this is the case then it follows that :

• We are all in need of healing
• Healing is a lifelong process involving many healing events
• Healing can never be totally achieved in this life.
• Healing is the path to wholeness and that seems a pretty good reason to come to the monthly healing services. If you have not already, why not give it a try?

Come not just for yourself, but for friends and family and for our world, because all need God’s healing touch.
