Order of Saint Luke

our Christian healing ministry

OSL

The International Order of Saint Luke is an interdenominational religious order dedicated to the Christian healing ministry, which began in 1932 by an Episcopal priest. OSL is ecumenical, with members belonging to a variety of Christian denominations. OSL believes that healing exists today. Healing occurs through the hands of health professionals as well as fellow Christians. As the Bible teaches, we are equipped to heal with the power of Jesus Christ.


The OSL Doulos Chapter prayer team at All Saints trains with resources from the international organization. The parish prayer team assists our Rector in parish pastoral ministry, including:


  • Wednesday Healing Eucharist (12:10 p.m. in the chapel)
  • Hospital Visitation
  • Home Communions (In coordination with Lay Eucharistic Visitors)
  • "Call Care" Follow-Up
  • Nursing Home Visitation
  • Prayer Support Partners in Worship
  • Parish Prayer List for Healing
  • Crisis Ministry
  • Education on the Ministry of Healing
     
    Jesus is the Healer in all cases, but he does want us to ask for healing with faith and persistence (Luke 11:9-13). When welcomed into God's Kingdom, God already has an assignment for us to help and reach others. If you believe a prayer ministry with a healing focus is what God gives you, let's talk! Praying for hurting people is a way for you to give back and pay forward the kindness and provision our Heavenly Father has given to all of us.

    Contact Father Reid Hensarling or Reverend Kathy Hulin for more information on becoming an All Saints' prayer team member or ministry to parish members by the prayer team.

“Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up. If they have sinned, they will be forgiven.”


-James 5:14-15

Why Volunteer?


It can be hard to find time to volunteer, especially with busy lives. However, the benefits of volunteering can be enormous. Volunteering offers vital help to people in need and the community, but the benefits can be even greater for you, the volunteer.
Giving to others can also help protect your mental and physical health. It can reduce stress, combat depression, keep you mentally stimulated, and provide a sense of purpose.

While it’s true that the more you volunteer, the more benefits you’ll experience, volunteering doesn’t have to involve a long-term commitment or take a lot of time out of your busy day.


If the Bible tells us anything, God is generous and loves to serve. We see that in Jesus, who said He came not to be served but to serve. And all of us are made in His image.     


So, we were created to selflessly serve others with the talents, time, and other resources God entrusted to us. Volunteering allows us to represent a God who voluntarily chooses to pour blessings on all in need.
