Prayer for Healing

Lord, You invite all who are burdened to come to You. Allow your healing hand to heal me. Touch my soul with Your compassion for others. Touch my heart with Your courage and infinite love for all. Touch my mind with Your wisdom, that my mouth may always proclaim Your praise. Teach me to reach out to You in my need, and help me to lead others to You by my example. Most loving Heart of Jesus, bring me health in body and spirit that I may serve You with all my strength. Touch gently this life which You have created, now and forever. Amen.

Accord N.I. is organising courses for inter-church couples preparing for marriage. These courses are similar in content to the standard Accord courses and cover commitment, communication, conflict resolution, Church and children. The difference on an inter-church course is that we have a special session where representatives from the 4 main Christian Churches come together to present their Church’s official view on inter-church marriage. The courses run on Sundays (10.00am-5.00pm) and Tuesday evenings (7.00pm-10.00pm)

You must complete both days of the course. Dates for 2010 are June 27th/29th, September 26th/28th, October 24th/26th November 28th/30th. The venue for these dates is the Dunsilly Inn Hotel, Antrim. Fee £110. Book online www.accordni.com or contact Brenda Russell on 028 90233002 or email: brussell@accordni.com
