Healing Prayers The offering of healing prayers is a widespread and ancient tradition within the Episcopal Church, and one that has long been part of the Wednesday morning Eucharist at St. Andrew’s. We are eager to extend the reach of these prayers by making them available at our 8am, 10am, and 5pm Sunday services. The way healing prayers will be offered is as follows. During the time people are receiving communion at the front altar rail, one of the clergy will be on duty at the transept altar to offer healing prayers for anyone who wishes to be prayed with. If you want to have healing prayers, go to the communion rail at the transept altar after you have received communion at the front rail. You are welcome to kneel or stand at the rail. The clergy person will ask you quietly and discreetly what you wish to pray for. To be clear, requests for healing prayers are not just for health is‐ sues. In fact, they are usually for non‐physical challenges that an individual may be facing: family, work, relationship difficulties, etc. You can request a prayer for yourself or for someone else. For example, someone might say, “please pray for my husband facing a difficult time at work,” or “please pray for my mother facing an operation,” or “please pray for my son hav‐ ing a tough time at college.” In response, the clergy will quietly and dis‐ creetly offer a healing prayer for the situation. One point I do wish to make is that the introduction of healing prayers will not add any time to the length of the service. Once everyone has received communion the service will continue as normal even if there are still people receiving healing prayer at the Transept Chapel. Again, healing prayer is an ancient Episcopal tradition, and by making it more widely available at St. Andrew’s we will be joining Christians down through the ages who have prayed in this way for God’s healing pres‐ ence to be with them. If you have any questions about healing prayer please do not hesitate to speak with me or one of the other clergy. Rev. Adrian Robbins‐Cole

Please join us for fellowship after the 10am service.
