 We will have our annual Healing Service on Sunday, February 9, at 10:00 am. The service will take place in the sanctuary. Pastor Kathryn will be preaching.
The Healing Service is a combined worship with all of the congregations, in which we pray for healing of all kinds and perform the ritual of anointing with oil for those who desire it.
