The Becoming Whole Conference, was a great experience for our community and many visitors too. To continue exploring some of the areas highlighted, you may find these resources helpful. The Isaiah 40 team, who led the conference, has shared a booklist with us, printed below. Check for some of these titles in the Russo Memorial Library located in the Parish Hall. Healing prayer is another rich resource at CTR, available both during and after the service.
Healing Prayer
During Communion, individual and confidential prayer for personal concerns is offered by trained prayer ministers in the newly opened prayer room at the back of the Church Sanctuary. Longer appointments are available after the service, in the baptistery off the front lobby; another team, including a priest or deacon, will be in the prayer room off the front lobby.
