Prayer Training Luncheon
We apologize for the inconvience but the August 28 event has been canceled.
Prayer Training Luncheon
WE ARE SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE, BUT THE AUGUST 28 EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELED.
Powerful Prayers Produce Wonderful Results
The most frequent prayer requests most of us receive are for healing. Jesus healed people everywhere he went, and so did Paul and Peter. We are directly encouraged to pray for the sick in the book of James. This is a vital topic for all of us!
We will address such questions as, "Is it God's will to heal everyone" and "Why doesn't God seem to answer prayers and allow such suffering" and many more.
We will learn how to use our spiritual gifts of wisdom, knowledge, discernment and healing as we pray with people. There will be time for some helpful elements of this type of intercessory prayer.
A light lunch will be served and a $5.00 donation is appreciated. Payable online or by cash or check at the event.

NAMI Family Mental Health Support Group
NAMI Family Mental Health Support Group Starting September 19, 2022
First and Third Mondays | 7:00–8:30 p.m. | Room 264 | Oak Brook
This faith-based, drop-in Family Mental Health Support group is for family members, friends, and support persons of anyone 18 and older who are living with a mental health condition or suspected mental health condition. Your loved one does not need to have a diagnosis to attend.
First Wednesday | 11:00 a.m. | The Commons | Oak Brook
We want people to know that they are seen in their season of struggle and hardship. Prayer shawls and blankets are a tangible expression of the love of God and His people. Our hope is that as people wrap themselves in this gift they will be reminded of His tenderness and care during the highs and lows of life.
Our group gathers monthly to pray while knitting or crocheting prayer shawls, as well as sewing prayer blankets. We enjoy community, praying together and using our creative gifts to serve the people of Christ Church. If you’re interested in joining us or starting a group at another time contact Jean Blidy at jblidy@ChristChurch.us or 630.321.3936.
