Ascension Day Service of Healing and Wholeness
The Easter season is a time for us to rejoice and continue to celebrate Christ's victory over sin and death. But it is also a time to name the ways we too are waiting for God to intervene in our lives to bring healing, insight, wisdom, discernment, or direction.
 
Join us for an Ascension Day Service for Wholeness and Healing on Thursday, May 9, 7:30pm in the Sanctuary. Join the Prayer Ministry Team and the Chancel Choir as we remember this pivotal moment in history and worship the risen and ascended Christ.
  
Following the service, there will be an opportunity to be anointed with oil and to receive prayer for healing in mind, body, or soul.
