A Service of Healing and Wholeness for our Wellbeing |
St Mark's Broomhill | 7PM |
An invitation to pause, to consider what prayer we need for our wellbeing and ministry and to hold each other in prayer. Lasting about 45 minutes, this informal service of readings, music and time for reflection, anointing and prayer is offered as an opportunity to reflect on how God’s purpose for us all is a life of wholeness, what we need for our wellbeing and to explore what we might need to change. We hope to offer a sacred space where we can be restored and strengthened in mind, body, and spirit whilst accepting who we are, our weakness and strength. For more information, contact Rev Dr Louise Castle, Bishop's Advisor in Healing and Wholeness, healing.ministry@sheffield.anglican.org. |
