Spirits Healed for Praise.
OpenSpirit, Sunday Evening, October 4th, 2009; 7 – 8pm; Performing Arts Center of MetroWest.
Healing happens. Maybe not always on our timetable; maybe not in the way we expected. But God does bring healing, and our spirits rise with new life.
Healing happens. And even in those times when healing of the body is not possible, there can still be healing for our spirit; transformation, resurrection of joy. 
The Gospels are punctuated with stories of Jesus, healing people. Sometimes he healed their bodies. This week we’ll focus on a story of Jesus liberating a woman’s spirit from that which kept it down, and the way she rose up, reaching for God, in praise.
What is healing, for you? Do you have a miraculous story? Or is this a time when you are deep in prayer, deep in need, waiting – sometimes patiently, sometimes not – for God’s healing touch?
Come, bring your story or your need to OpenSpirit. In word and in song, with time to reflect and respond, we will center ourselves around our shared memories and hopes of healing.
OpenSpirit. We light the lamps of evening, gather in an open circle, tune up the instruments and our voices, and practice God’s presence in new and ancient Christian ways. Bring who you are, and what you carry. Lay your burdens down, for a time, and let yoursef be held – in community, and in God.
