The root of the word "healing" in New Testament Greek, sozo, is the same as that of salvation and wholeness. We are offered balance, harmony, and wholeness of body, mind, spirit, and relationships through confession, forgiveness, and reconciliation.
Healing is not magic, but underlying it is the great mystery of God's love. God does not promise that we shall be spared suffering but does promise to be with us in our suffering. All are invited to trust in that promise as we gather to recognize God's sustaining presence in pain, sickness, injury, and estrangement.
Join Rev. Linda Baumheckel for this service of healing prayer and wholeness in the Garden Chapel at 6:30 p.m. All are welcome.
