Extraordinary worship: a Lenten service of wholeness and healing

Submitted by aandrews on Mon, 03/16/2009 - 20:12.

On March 18, the Extraordinary Worship Service that follows the Wednesday 2:42 dinner will be a "Service of Wholeness and Healing." In this time together we'll seek the presence and power of the Holy Spirit to meet whatever needs we bring. In prayers of thanksgiving and intercession, through the Sacrament of Communion, and in small groups, we'll give thanks that God provides for us. This is a unique worship opportunity to know the powerful presence of the Lord, and the healing that only Jesus can provide. Join us at 7:00 p.m. in the Sanctuary for this meaningful and meditative service.
