This Sunday is the Twelfth Sunday after Pentecost
August 19, 2012
This is the third Sunday of the month and so we will offer the Laying on of Hands for healing at both services. The lesson from the Jewish Scripture relates how Solomon, when asked by God what he would like God to give him, answers that, rather than riches or a long life, he would like the wisdom to govern God's people. Obviously, God is pleased with his response. The bread of life discourse continues in the reading from John.

Alex's Lemonade Stand at Grace Church
On Saturday September 1 through Monday, September 3, the O'Connell Family will be hosting "Alex's Lemonade Stand" from 12 noon to 4:00 pm each day at Grace Church. Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF) emerged from the front yard lemonade stand of cancer patient Alexandra "Alex" Scott (1996-2004). In 2000, 4-year-old Alex announced that she wanted to hold a lemonade stand to raise money to help find a cure for all children with cancer. Since Alex held that first stand, the Foundation bearing her name has evolved into a national fundraising movement, complete with thousands of supporters across the country carrying on her legacy of hope. John, Megan, John and Ellie O'Connell invite you to stop by for some lemonade, which will support cancer research. They also invite anyone who wishes to join them working at the stand to come on by.
