Healing Prayer, Healing Song - Catholic Communities of Oak Park and Neighbors
Join us at Ascension Church for Healing Prayer, Healing Song - The service includes scripture, healings songs and prayers from various traditions, shared silence, and the opportunity for individual prayer, laying on of hands, and anointing. A special “Healing Choir” provides musical support and songs of healing at the service. Additionally, an ecumenical prayer team of pastors and other pastoral care ministers assist in this ecumenical outreach of prayers for healing, wholeness, and unity in our world. As an ecumenical service, we recognize the unifying power of Christians from different traditions, ethnicities, and races to join as one, to intentionally pray for the healing of division and for a deepening of unity in our world. The service is livestreamed.
To date, each month we have welcomed approximately 100 persons at each prayer. The service began in February of 2023. We are hoping to continue to “grow” this service and invite you to experience the service for yourself as a way to pray for healing and unity in our world.
The service will be offered 5-6 times each year during the academic year. David is currently seeking several additional persons to assist with the team.
