Prayer & Healing Service

@ 6:30 pm in the Chapel
Led by Mark McIntosh & Kent Huggins.
A Healing service is a time of prayer, music, and annointing with oil individuals who are in the midst of any type of struggle, asking and trusting God to bring healing. Healing is not magic, and does not always mean a cure for a particular situation. This service is held annually in memory of Sam Harwell.
