The Healing Ministry

The Healing Ministry

Jesus said to his disciples, “heal the sick” (Matthew 10:8), in describing to them what he expected them to do, and his words are still true for us today. At St. George’s, healing ministers and clergy follow his words by offering prayers and blessings for those who are ill, troubled, or seeking healing for another. At the 8:45am and 11:15am services, after receiving communion, individuals may proceed to the chapel to receive special prayers from an appointed minister and priest. An usher will assist each one to a place. At the altar the minister asks for the name of the person being prayed for and, if possible, a brief description of the need. The individual kneels and receives the prayers and laying-on of hands. The same opportunity for healing prayer is also available at the Wednesday 10:00am service.

God’s gift of healing comes, by the power of the Trinity, to those who seek Him, that they may become more perfect in His sight. God’s mercy and goodness is at work in this parish through those who love and serve Him as ministers of health and healing. It is available to all His children.

    CD from Siloam

    “Hymns of Comfort”
    CD from Siloam

    If you are looking for a special gift for someone who may need a little encouragement, this is a CD set that you may want to consider. When Sam Brooks, a special Siloam friend and supporter, developed lung cancer his friend, John Coates, recorded a CD with some of Sam’s favorite hymns for Sam’s listening pleasure and comfort. After Sam’s death his wife Linda worked with John to develop an expanded two-disc CD called “Hymns of Comfort.” It is Linda’s hope that the proceeds from the distribution of the CDs support the work of Siloam. Linda has made these CDs available to Siloam’s volunteers and supporters.

    Hymns included on the CD are Near to the Heart of God, Come Ye Disconsolate, God Will Take Care of You, Be Still My Soul, It is Well, Jesus, Lover of My Soul, Children of the Heavenly Father, The Lord’s My Shepherd, I’ll Not Want, His Eye Is On the Sparrow, and Leaning on the Everlasting Arms.


    The CD set is now available at the church office while the Bookstore is closed for inventory.
    $15.00
