  Healing Broken Hearts and Relationships

  This quarter's Prayer Training Luncheon will focus on the healing of broken hearts and relationships. In Luke's Gospel, Jesus describes in detail His mission and ministry in this way "The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed. (Luke 4:18–19) 

  As we gather, remember that Jesus' mission was to heal broken hearts and relationships, bringing love and reconciliation to all.

  This seminar will discuss relationships such as marriages, parents, children, step-children, siblings and other family, friendships, ex-spouses, employers and employees.

  A light lunch will be served for $5.00 per person. Payable online or by cash or check at the event.

• +	Prayer Shawl Ministry First Wednesdays | 11:00 a.m. | Oak Brook

  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.
