How To Pray For Healing
On Sunday, we explored what to do, what not to do and thought about the part that faith has to play in our prayers.

We were joined by the General Superintendent of Elim, Mark Pugh, who came to preach to us a sermon as a guest speaker.
We have a number of doctors, nurses and health workers along with counsellors who are part of our congregation. We listened to the ways they understand the interplay between health, wholeness, medicine, counselling, healing and miracles.
We know that being in healthy communities brings us health. What practices build these communities? How can we stop churches becoming unhealthy?
The early church believed that God would heal their own sick members through the ministry of people with the gift of healing but also through the regular ministry of the church. How could we/should/do we copy these patterns?
Jesus spent a lot of time responding to sick people. Join us on Sunday, as we explore why healing was so important to his ministry, who he healed and what was understood by those who saw it and what it reveals about Jesus.
We know Jesus said he would build the church – but how does that happen? Can we just sit back and chill out? Or do we have to work hard for him? Or is there another way of seeing how our small, non-anxious decisions can be used by him in his work. We think so!

None of us have enough time to do all that we want to do. We feel hassled, rushed, time-poor. It can lead us being impatient with ourselves, each other and even God. The birth of a Saviour is a call to slow down, to see more and an invitation to be patient.
