God's Blessings we have a new Chaplain!
The apostle Paul penned the insight inspired to him by the Holy Spirit, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news. Romans 10:15
It is for this purpose that this ministry exists, bringing good news of hope and encouragement to those who are hospitalized and in a time of need.
Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, our Lutheran hospital chaplain makes the rounds of the 8 hospitals in Columbia, Missouri.
The hospitals provide him with the names and room numbers of any patient who have identified themselves as Lutherans.
The chaplain visits them in their rooms, bringing the Good News of the Gospel and the hope and encouragement found in the promises of God's word.
14 "Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. 15 And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven."
Revelation 21:4
"He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."
