    Prayer Training Luncheon

    Sunday, May 19 | 12:00 p.m. | Fellowship Hall 2 | Oak Brook

    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.
