THE HEALING WATERS PARISH AGREEMENTParish Agreement • September 16th, 2012
Contract Type FiledSeptember 16th, 2012The name ‘Healing Waters Parish’ was chosen because each congregation is in Yellow Medicine County. Medicine is used for healing, and we desire to invite and encourage people to join our healing parish. The Native American name for Yellow Medicine describes the Blue Gentian flower, which needs lots of moisture. It is believed that this flower was used for its healing powers and grew by flowing waters. Christ calls us to be healed, restored, and nourished in the waters of baptism, and to invite and encourage all people to gather in faith and be sent to serve.
