 Mark 5:25-34 – “A Woman Healed”

I pray that I may have the faith of this woman: trusting that Jesus can help me, reaching out humbly in my moments of need.

Jesus does not want only that I be healed. He wants to be in relationship with me, for me to be at peace.

We give thanks

that Jesus comes into our lives bringing healing and peace when we reach out humbly to him.

• Next steps for the Inner North mission partnership of O’Connor, St Margaret’s and St Columba’s as the two appointed members from each congregation prepare a request for Presbytery Standing Committee support.
