A monthly healing cafe in Melksham has marked its first anniversary.
The Melksham Healing Café meets on the first Monday of each month at ‘that meeting space’, offering free coffee, cake, and the opportunity for prayer.
Modelled on the Bath Healing Café, the Melksham group is led by Nancy Millard and supported by Christian volunteers from across the area. Their aim is to provide a warm welcome, refreshments and prayer for anyone who chooses to drop-in.
Cafe facilitator Sharon Firth, who is helping to facilitate the spread of the cafés regionally, said, “As well as offering support to people who want to set up similar cafés, we are developing training courses for those who want to learn more about the Christian healing ministry.”
Sharon added that the team regularly hears encouraging stories from visitors. She said, “A lady with carpal tunnel syndrome left without pain and with full movement in her wrist. We often see people experiencing physical healing, reduced pain, improved mobility, and emotional wellbeing.
The next Melksham Healing Café will take place on Monday 2nd March, from 11.30am to 1.30pm.
“The success of the cafés has generated growing interest, with new Healing Cafés starting in Shaftesbury and Portland and enquiries coming from further afield,” Sharon added.
The cafes are part of Catalyst4Healing, an organisation made up of Christians from all backgrounds and churches. Find out more at catalyst4healing.org
