Healing Ministry

Bible Study

A Bible study exploring the healing miracles of Jesus in the Gospels, examining each through the lens of disability theology and asking critical questions about the nature of healing, inclusion, and wholeness.

  • Who?

    All are Welcome! Whether you are in need of healing, you work in the medical field, have questions, or want a way to dive even deeper in your faith- we hope you will join us!

  • When and Where?

    The Healing Ministry Bible Study meets on Tuesdays at 6:00pm in the Library. Can’t make it in person? Join via Zoom!

  • What is Healing Prayer?

    Healing prayer comes in many forms. At Good Shepherd and the Episcopal and Anglican Tradition, we center healing around the Eucharist. It is through the consumption of the body and blood that we remember the kind of Resurrected Jesus we worship. A Jesus who came back with the Stigmata, the wounds on the crucifixion on hands, feet, side, and head. We believe in miracles, but we know they do not necessarily come in the forms we anticipate.

  • Is there a catch?

    Absolutely not. Come when you can; don't come when you can't. Come late; leave early. No pressure, no judgment (the world offers plenty of those two things).

    You are free to come exactly as you are. The readings will prompt different questions for each of us; so, ask away or just listen. There are no stupid questions.

    All are Welcome!
