Date: April 6, May 4 and June 1, July 6
Time: 1:30 p.m. to 3:30
Place: Newman Center
Features: Soaking prayer is surrendering yourself to the Holy Spirit in a relaxed, spiritual atmosphere; being immersed in receiving an outpouring of the Holy Spirit. A short introduction is given, followed by a 30 minute music worship segment to invoke the Holy Spirit. Remainder of the time is spent, listening to the direction of the Holy Spirit via scripture, readings and being open to receive healing at any level: emotional, mental, psychological, physical, spiritual, or generational. This unique form of prayer allows you to call a “time out” or yourself to come into a spiritual environment, to receive an infilling of God‘s love, mercy, healing, forgiveness, compassion and peace. Facilitated by Eve McGill, Living Waters Healing Ministry. All are welcome!
