Thank you for your support.
Just wanted to send a quick note to thank you for the support of Grace Church for Autism Speaks and the generosity of its members. We were able to raise over $600 for Autism Speaks and were so grateful that some of the members even came out to the walk (albeit at the expense of attending last Sunday’s service). Many Thanks, Dan & Melanie Lynch

Bible Study for June - 2 Corinthians
Our focus during June will be the Second Letter to the Corinthians, which we will also be reading as part of our Sunday lectionary. A schedule of readings with reflections is posted on our website, and our Wednesday evening Bible Study continue on the 4 Wednesdays in June at 7:30 pm.
Paul’s second Letter to the Christians in Corinth is an extended meditation on the meaning of apostolic ministry. Written about a year after his first letter, it represents Paul’s attempts at reconciliation after the conflicts that occurred during his ministry in Corinth; in doing so, Paul eloquently presents a vision of ministry that is profoundly meaningful for today as we renew and redefine our own desire to understand God’s purpose for us – as individuals and as a community.
- Week One [ June 4-8] 1:1- 3:6: Introduction: Paul and his ministry
- Week Two [June 11-15] 3:7 – 7:4: Paul explains the nature of his ministry
- Week Three [June 18-22] 7:5-9:15: Paul’s appeal for the collection for Jerusalem:
- Week Four [June 25-29] 10:1--13:13: Paul describes his plans for ministry

The Parish Profile is posted!
The Profile is available for everyone to read on our website. The Search Committee’s work is now confidential: Please do not speak with any member of the Search Committee about the Search. Although there will be periodic updates about their work, there will be no substantial information until the fall. Their work is made more difficult when people bring questions or suggestions to them, and they can be best supported with prayer and trust.

Summer Camp is here! The next opportunity to provide a swimsuit for a child will be held on Sunday, June 17th, 8:30-9:30AM, in the Parish Hall. The last day to give a child a swimsuit is Sunday, June 24th in the Parish Hall after the 10AM service. It takes $25 to provide a child a gift card to purchase a new swimsuit for himself/herself. Donations may be made in cash, check (made out to Lifting Up Westchester) or a gift card from Walmart or Target. Won't be able to donate in person? No problem! Please drop your donation in a sealed envelope (along with your name) addressed to Linda Gallo. Last year, our Grace family provided 71 swimsuits to campers--can we at least equal that number this year? Questions? Please contact Linda Gallo at

Diocesan Summer
Youth Conference:
"Love Thy Neighbor"
Sunday-Saturday, August 19-25
Incarnation Center
Ivoryton, Connecticut
Summer Youth Conference is a week-long event for the young people of the diocese. It is a combination of many things; part retreat, part camp, and part convention. It is a chance for the youth of the diocese to escape the pressures of the outside world, to meet people their own age, discuss topics relevant to their lives, define their own personal spirituality, and have fun - all at the same time!
The Summer Youth Conference is open to all people finishing grade 6-12 who would like to experience a week of spiritual growth and Christian fellowship.
