Life Together
Iona Service of Healing & Wholeness
Today, 5:00 pm, in the Sanctuary
A Ministry of the Diaconate
In the spirit of Iona, we believe that Jesus calls those who follow him to a life of wholeness and that the ministry of healing is as much a part of Christian life as mission and service. May we open our hearts to Jesus and let his love into the most painful places of our lives. Amen. +
