Weekly Healing Service

Each Thursday at noon a group of parishioners gather in the Chapel for a Service of Healing with laying on of hands and Holy Communion available. While this service has taken place for many years, it has gained new importance as the members lift up all our Grace sisters and brothers, both at First Christian and at CANA, with prayers for healing and unity. As the sorrows of the larger world seem to increase, it is a true labor of love to come together and hold up the needs of all the broken places. There are prayers for family members, for one another, for reconciliation and for parishioners in need. To join in offering these intercessions within the company of the faithful is truly a gift that provides a strong center to the week.

We invite any who can add their voices to this weekly time of prayer and worship. A bonus has developed since we are meeting at First Christian; often members continue their fellowship with lunch together. All are welcome.


Adult Education

In keeping with our long-standing history of providing adult education, Grace and St Stephen’s Episcopal Church will be providing a 45-minute class (from 11:30 AM to 12:15 PM) on Sunday mornings—just before our 12:45 PM worship.  Our instructor will be our newly appointed Priest-in-Charge, Fr. Michael O’Donnell, and will be based on one of his books, “Heart of the Warrior”.

Our first string of classes, is entitled “Go tell it On the Mountain” and will feature an in-depth study of King David and his “mighty men and women” in exile and the lessons they learn from God atop of Mt Hebron.  The purpose of this lesson series is to inspire HOPE and ultimately prepare us (as an Episcopal parish) for a successful reoccupation arrangement.

WE WILL MEET IN THE SOUTH END OF THE FELLOWSHIP HALL IN FIRST CHRISTIAN CHURCH.
