Take a Minute!
Folks around the world are dedicating one minute a day at 6:00 pm Eastern Daylight Time for all of us to hold the Ukraine in prayer.
The Prayer of Protection is an excellent prayer to hold for our neighbors.
"The Light of God surround you. The Love of God enfolds you.
The Power of God protects you. The Presence of God watches over you.
Wherever you are, God is. - James Dillet Freeman
Our Positive Prayer Ministry
Let us add our prayers to yours! .jpg)
Positive or affirmative prayer is a practical tool we use to consciously and constructively change our lives. A positive prayer is act of faith and conviction, an absolute knowing of the Truth for ourselves and/or another. It actively calls forth the manifestation of a specific desire through the power of the spoken word.
All prayer requests are held in strict confidence.
Book an appointment for short-term spiritual therapy
with Rev. Sharon Ketchum or Rev. Grace Nicodemus
Spiritual therapy is limited to 3 sessions based on a love offering.
-
Holistic Approach: Unlike traditional psychotherapy, which often focuses on mental and emotional health, spiritual therapy considers the whole person, including their spiritual or religious beliefs and experiences.
-
Finding Meaning and Purpose:
It aims to help individuals explore their spiritual beliefs, values, and experiences to find meaning, purpose, and a sense of connection in their lives.
-
Addressing Existential Concerns: Spiritual therapy can be particularly helpful for addressing existential concerns like the search for meaning, feelings of disconnect, or dealing with mortality.
-
Integration of Practices: It may involve integrating spiritual practices like prayer, meditation, sacred text study, forgiveness, rituals, and spiritual journaling into the therapeutic process.
-
Not a Replacement for Traditional Therapy: Spiritual therapy is often used as part of a holistic approach to mental health treatment, not as a standalone treatment modality.
-
Potential Benefits: It can help individuals reconnect to their purpose, affirm their beliefs, manage grief and loss, and promote overall well-being.
-
Diverse Approaches: Spiritual therapy can take various forms, including existential therapy, mindfulness therapy, and transpersonal therapy.
-
Importance of Spiritual Bypassing: It's important to be aware of "spiritual bypassing," which occurs when spirituality is used to avoid addressing underlying psychological issues or suffering.
