 Prayer
and healing at St. John's
.

Prayer Ministry
In scripture, Jesus
and the disciples give us many examples of prayers and ways of
praying. In Matthew 6:5-13 Jesus tells the disciples to
pray in their room behind closed doors. Then he gives them an
example of what to pray for with the Lords Prayer. Jesus prays
by himself in the Garden of Gethsemane; Matthew 26: 36-39.
After the crucifixion, Acts 1:12-14 tells us the disciples
along with others joined together constantly praying.
Prayer Ministry at
St. John’s comes in may different forms. If you would like
prayer support you may:
-
Have your request
placed on the prayer chain by emailing our Prayer Team at: PrayerChain@stjohnsanglican.org.

the
Prayer Team at the prayer bench in the side chapel during
communion
at
the 10:15 service.

 Thoughts
on praying
Prayer Ministry
takes place in many ways. We have corporate prayers on
Sundays. Specific prayer requests are prayed for by our
prayer chain as needed. As individuals, we have our own
prayer times. We would like to encourage you to use
the Prayer Book readings linked below during your prayer time. By using Daily
Morning Prayer, Noonday Prayer, or Daily Evening Prayer, it
helps keep you focused on your Prayers, by reading scripture
and other inspirational words.
Another form of
prayer is the laying on of hands. This is an example
used many times in scripture and tradition. As our
Prayer Team is praying for anyone who wishes additional prayer
support, they may gently put a hand on that person's shoulder
as a sign of caring and support.

Agape Ministry
Sometimes
we just need a little reminder of how much God Loves Us... AND
how much our family in Christ does, too! That is what
The Agape Ministry at St. John's is all about! Whether
it be celebrating birthdays or anniversaries, new jobs,
marriages or giving you that little "boost" you need
to get through tough times, The Agape Ministry reminds you
that "God Loves You"...and so does St. John's!
If you would like a card
or note sent to someone you know who needs that little
"boost", let us know and we'll will be glad to pass
along support and well wishes from our Lord and Saviour
and our Church Family! Email the Agape leadership at AgapeMinistry@stjohnsanglican.org,
or speak to us in person at church.
