Carol Miller Pastoral Care Administrator

Prayer is the vital two-way communication between the Shepherd (Jesus Christ) and his sheep (us). Prayer not only puts us directly in touch with God’s power, but also enables us to hear his voice in order for us to step out into his perfect will!

From specific and individual prayers prayed each Sunday to our emergency prayer chain which is enacted in times of need - prayer is a thriving force within our church family!

Prayer requests may be given to the Pastoral Care Desk line, 24 hours a day at 736-3132, ext. 165.

PRAYER MINISTRIES

Christ Healing Center
Christ Healing Center (CHC) is an inter-denominational ministry composed of volunteer lay and ordained ministers dedicated to the healing of hurting people in San Antonio and the surrounding area.

CHC employs Christian healing prayer, in the name of Jesus Christ, and with the partnership of the Holy Spirit, in order to bring people to health and wholeness.

Christ Episcopal Church participates with CHC through its chapter of the Order of St. Luke, which has hosted several healing services and sponsors a prayer room once a week at Christ Episcopal Church. The prayer room accepts appointments for people to meet one-on-one with volunteer prayer ministers and clergy to bring their needs to the Lord.

One hour appointments are made Tuesdays through Thursdays. This ministry operates at 135 W. Olmos Drive.

If you, or anyone that you know is interested in prayer, please call 210-930-7760 to make an appointment.

CHC also runs a Web site that contains more information about the ministry at www.christhealingcenter.org.
