Healing Prayer

For some years now, there has been a healing ministry team at the Chapel of the Incarnation. Individuals from this group pray with individuals for their specific needs following or during Holy Eucharist.

Praying for Others

We keep an ongoing prayer list for those who ask our prayers and pray these at our public worship services on Sunday and Wednesday nights. We keep individuals on our prayer list for one month, or longer if requested. The chaplain and students at the Chapel are available to pray, as well, with those who would like. To submit a prayer request for our community's worship services on Sunday and Wednesday nights, please let someone at the Chapel House know or complete a prayer request slip in the wooden box adorned with a gold cross on the window ledge in the prayer corner  in the back of the Chapel. You may submit your prayer request by email to chaplain@ufchapelhouse.com.


Prayer and Study Garden

Our Study Garden is open daily during daylight hours for study and internet use (we offer free wireless service). It is also a place to prayerfully reflect and pray. Many find it a spiritual oasis of refreshment and renewal in the midst of academic and personal demands on them as college students.



Dorm Blessings

At the Chapel of the Incarnation, we bless dorms, apartments, condos, or houses � offering them up to God for God's use and blessings. Found in our Book of Occasional Services, this delightful tradition in the Episcopal Church is an enjoyable time of fellowship and prayer. Speak with the chaplain to set a day and time

CHAPEL HOUSE PRAYER

Thank you, Lord, for
This time, this place;
This house, this home;
This love, this warmth;
This family, these friends.

Please bless, Lord,
My family, friends,
Love(s), and acquaintances,
Wherever they might be.
And please bless, Lord,
My opponents, adversaries,
Enemies, and those
Whom I have not yet
Had the chance to offend.

Thank you, Lord, for
Forgiveness, and
For your lessons.
Would that I might,
Someday,
Be worthy of
Either one.
A SIMPLE CATECHISM



God speaks to Everything:
To Force in Mandate,
To Mass in Commandment,
To Plant and Animal In Song,
And to Man in Whisper-Feeling.
