Healing is one of humanity’s deepest needs, rooted in the story of our faith. Being healed is about more than physical wellness. In the pages of scripture, healing shares space with community support, emotional consolation, forgiveness, restoration, connection, and comfort. It is physical, psychological, spiritual, and social. Healing is for individuals, entire communities, the whole human family, and all created things.

Some congregations already focus on healing prayer during Lent. This service uses old and new Christian traditions of healing prayer. It explores how the need for healing intersects with the thematic needs in each week of All We Need.

Each week, this service provides text and setup guides for three prayer stations. Worshipers visit these during a ten- to twenty-minute period at the center of worship as they respond to God’s word. (Sample)
