The Church of the Divine Love

Ministries​

Bible Study

  • Our weekly 1-hour Bible Study is lay-run, and is encouraging, supportive and welcoming.


  • A safe space that brings the Word to life, as it is at once informative and accessible and uplifting.
  • An opportunity to reflect, share life's trials and blessings and give thanks for God's grace as it continues to show up through it all.
  • There is joy here, and care, and a thoughtful end-of-day-prayer out loud. 
  • It is a really good time, with a lot of laughter throughout.


  • Open to all regardless of previous faith background...even if you are new to studying the Bible, you will find this fun and ultimately life changing.

Tabitha's Circle Prayer Shawl Ministry


  • Tabitha's Circle is the inspiration of our past beloved Deacon Susan Taylor.
  • She taught a small group of willing ladies how to knit and crochet.
  • We can teach you, too.
  • We have made hundreds of Prayer Shawls over the years and given them to those in need, be they suffering from illness or loss & grief, or any kind of difficulty or hardship.

​​

  • We pray over each shawl before it is given, and embue it with the power and healing that can only come from and through the Holy Spirit, so the recipient will feel God is with them always. 


  • We meet once a month on Fridays.
  • If you are interested in someone receiving a Prayer Shawl, please contact the Church Office.

Hands On Healing Prayer Ministry


  • Hands-On Healing Prayer, as a faith-based practice, is a ministry that we have offered to our Divine Love Parishioners and visitors over many years.
  • Upon request, we first ask permission to gently touch the individual, or by holding hands.
  • Then we pray to the Lord for physical, emotional or spiritual healing. 


  • Sometimes this is done with another person participating or a small group adding their prayers as well. 
  • There is no pre-planning or self conciousness as these prayers are said aloud in the moment, trusting that the Holy Spirit will give the right words to say. 
  • We believe these prayers of faith will heal the one who is sick or in need, and that the Lord will raise them up.
  • The ultimate healing comes from God, that is available to us through the power of the Holy Spirit.
  • Through prayer the person in need is set apart by God's grace, while trusting the Lord for their healing.

​​

  • This ministry seeks to channel God's grace through the Holy Spirit to bring comfort, restoration and miraculous break throughs. 
  • Knowing God as the source of all healing energy, He offers us the compassionate use in prayer of the laying on of hands.


Hands On Healing Prayer is available each Sunday after the Service

at the Coffee Hour upon Request
