Illness and Hospitalization

"May God the Father bless you, God the Son heal you, God the Holy Spirit give you strength.  May God the holy and undivided Trinity guard your body, save your soul, and bring you safely to his heavenly country, where he lives and reigns for ever and ever.  Amen."

-Prayer for Health of Body and Soul, The Book of Common Prayer, p. 460

 

The prayers of the church are intended to spiritually support its members in times of illness or need.  If you or a loved one is seriously ill or admitted to the hospital, please contact the church office as soon as possible.  If you would like, the priest will visit for prayer and to offer communion and pastoral support.
