The Living Waters Fox River Valley Chapter
"Whoever believes in me, streams of living water will flow from within him." John 7:38
Lela Lowe, Convener
Cathy Lam, Co-Convener
Rev. Steve Lowe, Chaplain
The Order of St. Luke began in the parish with an eight-week seminar series on Healing Prayer in the Lent and Easter seasons of 1999. Results of these seminars included a deeper prayer fellowship for many participants and an opportunity to share significant life issues. Some members formed lasting friendships. Fifteen participants became members of the Order of St. Luke. Our chapter has continued to grow from there, welcoming in additional Associate and Full Members and facilitating various retreats, workshops and seminars. In the spring of 2003, we joined ranks with members of the Geneva United Methodist Church in an effort to form a more ecumenically-based chapter.
Some activities we have held include Lenten teachings and seminars; two 3-day Healing Missions; a Quiet Day of contemplative prayer; a seminar on scientific investigations of prayer; healing narratives studies; a seminar on prayer and personality; outreach to those in nursing homes and hospitals; and book discussion groups.
If your church is interested in affiliation with the Fox River Valley chapter, please do not hesitate to contact us for further information.

Our weekly Wednesday morning service with special emphasis on prayers for healing. Individual prayer and laying-on of hands is available if desired.
Monthly Ecumenical Healing Eucharist
1st Sunday of the month at 5:00 pm at St. Mark's or Geneva Methodist
We also have a monthly Healing Eucharist sponsored by the Order of St. Luke which alternates locations between St. Mark's and Geneva United Methodist Church. We gather for prayer on the first Sunday of the month at 5 pm. On those months that are odd (January, March, May, July, September, November) we meet in the main church of St. Mark's. On the even months (February, April, June, August, December) we meet at Geneva United Methodist Church (2nd Street and Hamilton). This service has a special emphasis on prayers and laying-on of hands and anointing with oil. For more information, contact the Rev. Steve Lowe.
