PASTOR'S MESSAGE
PASTOR'S MESSAGE

"For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven." - Ecclesiastes 3:1
We all end up needing healing at some point in our lives. Our bodies get sick or injured. We face difficult life situations or life changing choices. We experience conflict in our families or other relationships in our lives. When these things happen, we can turn to God in prayer and turn to our faith community to surround us in prayer.
Our next healing prayer service is Sunday, October 18 at 11:45am. This is an opportunity to have someone pray with you through the laying on of hands and anointing of oil. These prayers can be for ourselves or for someone we love. They can be prayers for a physical healing, healing in a relationship, guidance with a difficult situation or decision, and the list could go on.
When we hear of healing, our minds automatically go to physical healing. We think that services like these are only for those walking through cancer, facing a difficult surgery, or other physical health issue. These are certainly situations in need of healing, but healing prayer isn't just for physical needs. Healing prayers can be for emotional health, struggles with our faith lives, wisdom in making difficult decisions, or dealing with a strained relationship at home, work, or other community. The list could go on for what could be brought for prayers of healing. Whatever struggle you are facing in your life today, we want you to know that your faith community is here and wants to surround you with prayer.
We hope that you will join us on Sunday, October 18 at 11:45am for our next Healing Prayer Service. If you are in need of prayer, feel free to fill out the prayer concern form on our website or send an email to prayer@splc.church.
God’s Peace,
Pastor Mike
