Heavenly Treasures Open
House Today! Heavenly Treasures
Thrift and Gift Store is open today after all services. Come over and
discover YOUR treasures -- we have fabulous designer clothes, shoes, and
handbags for ridiculously low prices. You'll look so great that no one
will ever know how little you spent. There's cashmere, silk, wool,
leather jackets, designer shoes...the list just goes on and on. Not
only do we have the best gently used items around, but we also have lots
of brand new things! What other thrift store has new sunglasses,
French soaps from Provence, and Peruvian jewelry at rock bottom
prices? Our affordable gift items are perfect for gifting, or just a
little luxury for yourself. Come see us after services (we're just two
doors north on Mendocino Avenue) and stretch your dollars until they
scream!
Numina presents: Taize Caritas Worship this
Friday, May 28 at 7:30 pm. A Taize
service offers ecumenical worship based on the principles of the Taize
Community in France. The service begins in Farlander Hall with a presentation
and discussion of a saint, writer, or artist who speaks to us about the
spiritual journey, followed by a candlelit contemplative service of chanting
and silent meditation in the church. This month the lecture will focus on The
Dove Descending: Art and Stories of Pentecost. The service will be led by
Kayleen Asbo and Robin O'Brien. Healing prayer will be offered by the Caritas
healing team, available in the side Marian Chapel.

A
Warm Thank You from Luther Burbank.We recently received a wonderful thank
you card from one of the teachers at Luther Burbank Elementary, the school our
Church is committed to helping out, and we thought we should definitely pass
the thanks along to you.
"Dear
Members of the Church of Incarnation, One of your members arrived today with a
large bag of pencils and erasers to be donated to our classroom. The students eyed them hungrily and exclaimed
that 'You are the best!' when it comes to supporting their academic endeavors,
and I concur. Your thoughtfulness is very much appreciated, and we'll be
thinking of you frequently as we write, make corrections, and rewrite. Thank
you so much for helping us become better educated with the proper tools to do
so. Burbank School Tigers growl - you are g-r-rr-eat! Gratefully, Mrs. Morgan, Room 22."
