Order of St. Luke the Physician - An international group of clergy, health professionals and lay people committed to the Healing Ministry of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. The Imperial Calcasieu Order of St. Luke the Physician began in July, 2005. We began study of the healing ministry of Jesus Christ at three different times and places: St. Michael's, Lake Charles; Holy Trinity, Sulphur; Good Shepherd, Lake Charles. Our chapter has since expanded to include members from St. John Lutheran Church and Our Lady Queen of Heaven. We meet monthly on a rotating basis. In addition to our study of Jesus' healing ministry, we are presently viewing videos of Francis & Judith McNutt's Christian Healing Series and are planning a Healing Conference at Good Shepherd April 18-19, 2008.

• Prayer Team Ministry-- members of OSL are available in the Chapel after Sunday services for prayer or the laying on of hands.
