Advent Healing Service
We did a new thing this year at Lord of Grace; we offered a service of healing - actually two. Tonight's was in person, and had only a few people. The next will be an online version - livestreamed. With all the stress of Covid, and all the memories that the season brings up for so many people, we thought it might be good to offer a chance to meditate, pray with someone, light a candle or post a prayer on the prayer wall. Definitely doing this again. To just sit and bask in the presence of God, to be still before Christmas, and not be rattling off to-do lists in your head, was freeing and healing. To share in prayer with others, either to listen or to speak, is a special kind of healing to - and the Spirit was truly present.
