Bethlehem Lutheran Church, Ridgewood 10th Annual Service of Healing
Bethlehem Lutheran Church, Ridgewood, NJ will conduct its 10th of Healing on Sunday, March 16th follow in the parlor. They are located at 155 Linwood Avenue or call 201-444-3600.
The worship service will be led by The Rev. Andrew D. Nelson, with music by Diane Mitchell, Director of Music. This service is being held in cooperation with the
Parish Nurse/Care Ministry at Bethlehem.
The focus of this worship service will be wholeness. Healing does not mean just
the lack of illness or disability. The root of the word heal means wholeness. As Christians, we remember that our wholeness involves harmony in all areas of our lives-
body, mind and spirit, with Christ at its center. Christian healing directs us toward being
the person God is calling us to be at every stage of our living and our dying. For some,
healing is comfort, for some, strength, for others, physical healing.
Through prayer, anointing with oil and confession we cast our burdens on the Lord. We confess that Jesus meets us in our brokenness and pain and brings His love to
bear – forgiving, transforming, redeeming and healing by His grace. Jesus does this in
God’s way, in God’s time, and according to God’s loving purpose for each individual.
Our physical, mental and emotional hurts and ills are not signs of God’s rejection
but symptoms of our fallen world in which sin and death reign. We are invited by God to
commend our ills on Him for this life, realizing that ultimate healing awaits us in heaven.
Please join us as we come together for this renewal of body, mind and spirit on Sunday, March 16th bring a friend!
