The Healing Ministry at Coker offers support through Christian healing worship services every other month and through the prayer shawl ministry.
Worship Services...First Monday of every even month
Next service on October 3, 2011 at 7:00 PM in Coker Chapel
Christian healing services include communion, anointing with oil, intercessory prayer teams, a community of faithful, and soft music in a prayerful setting where you may discover God’s presence in your life. The service is a time of contemplation, communion, consolation, re-commitment, coping, courage and confidence in God. This kind of healing integrates serenity and action, a search for wholeness, meaning, courage and strength, as God binds our yearning hearts. You’re invited to participate, observe, sing or receive prayers for healing of any kind—body, mind, spirit, emotions, relationships. People of faith come from all over the city to meditate and to pray for others. The service lasts about an hour in Coker’s historic rock chapel. Contact Rev. Joe Ed Lamb at 490-9299 or Dianne Hallmark at 885-4373.

Prayer Shawls... Shawls have been made for centuries and provide warmth and comfort to the wearer. The Prayer Shawl Ministry was created by two women from Connecticut as a final project in their study at the Women’s Leadership Institute in Hartford, CT. Weaving healing prayers into the fabric of the shawls has resulted in many new ministries that reach out to those in need of comfort all over the United States and other countries.
Our Prayer Shawl ministry at Coker UMC has given shawls as a comfort during illness, recovery, and at a time of loss or a time of joy.
A note is enclosed with each shawl that is given. The note offers an appropriate prayer and explains the reason for the gift. It is signed with the name – Coker United Methodist Church Prayer Shawl Ministry.
