Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
Event Materials & Resources
Health Care Revolution Sunday™ is a special worship service which celebrates the power of prayer to help bring about a health care revolution of a different kind. This celebration is facilitated by the insertion into the congregation's usual order of worship the following features: a special prayer, a bulletin insert, songs or hymns, and perhaps a message from the pulpit – all highlighting the healing role of Christ. Health Care Revolution Sunday™ is based on the motivation to help the church more completely model the whole ministry of Christ. Matthew 9:35 says, "Jesus traveled through all the cities and villages of that area, teaching in the synagogues and announcing the Good News about the Kingdom. And wherever he went, he healed people of every kind of disease and illness." The whole ministry of Christ involves teaching, preaching, and healing - including the healing of every kind of disease and illness. In recent generations many churches have come to focus primarily on the teaching and preaching ministries and for a variety of reasons have given limited attention to the healing ministries. Health Care Revolution Sunday™ encourages the church to advance their health and healing impact in three specific ways. The first involves a revolution in the health habits of the individual parishioner and his or her family. The second involves a revolution in the local congregation's health and healing ministries. The third involves a revolution in the health policies of our state and nation. A variety of resources are available FREE or at low cost to help congregations not only plan and celebrate this potentially life changing, church changing, and culture changing event, but also to effectively manage the enthusiasm that follows. Health Care Revolution Sunday™ is a movement of God and his people. It is totally non-partisan and encourages each parishioner as led by the Holy Spirit to be salt and light in the world with sensitivity and boldness.
