Church of the Incarnation Sunday Announcements
May 29, 2011


Today is the first day of our Summer Sunday Schedule, with services at 8 am & 10 am only. This will continue through September 4th. On September 11th, we'll switch back to our three-service schedule (8 am, 9:15 am, & 11:15 am).

 

TODAY: the Summer Festival is here at last! Join us after the 10 am service ends. Come one, come all - fun for all ages!

 

We will have a BBQ, with a suggested donation to help cover costs. Anything leftover will be donated to the Youth for their Mission Trip (see more info below). There will also be a bounce house, a pie-eating contest, and a hat decorating station!

 

We'll also have a picnic area set up with blankets, lawn chairs and umbrellas, and we'll be featuring a slide show of photos of life at Incarnation, and music.

 

The Youth Group will be selling snow cones and cotton candy to raise funds for their Mission Trip in June to the Apache Indian Reservation in Arizona.

 

A good time is sure to be had by all! Let's get the summer off to a good start - together!

The Animal Ministry small group wants to thank everyone who supported our Vegan Bake Sale. We raised $81.00 for Episcopal Development Relief (ERD). Thank you!

 

Our Small Groups want to thank everyone who made Small Group Sunday a success. Along with the $81.00 we raised for ERD, we had 41 people sign-up for our small groups. Our ministry of small groups could not be possible without your support and your desire to be in community and to share your stories and lives with one another. Praise the Lord!

 

Share and Care is a new group that is forming. This is a group for those who live with pain, depression, trauma, illness, anxiety and/or disability. No one should be alone. A group can often help in a situation that is overwhelming to an individual. To name a hurt can lessen its power. Maybe your experience can help another. Come and share with others who live with pain and illness. Past or present, chronic or acute, physical or mental or all of the preceding. God is always with us and works through us to aid each other. Our first meeting with be Thursday, June 9th (6 pm-7 pm) in the library. If you're interested or would like more information there is a sign-up sheet on the Small Group table. All are welcome.

 

NUMINA PRESENTS SUMMER CHAMBER MUSIC: Save the second Sunday of each month for a delightful afternoon of chamber music here at Incarnation. Our own Carol Menke and Laura McLellan will be joined by local musicians to perform a variety of works by famous and lesser known composers, followed by an art show and wine reception. Performers and artists will vary by date, so check the Numina website  ( www.numinacenter.org) for details. June 12, July 10, and August 14 at 4:00 p.m. Tickets available at the door: $20 per concert, or $50 for all three.

 

Small Groups Information: You can now contact the person in charge of any of our small groups by going to our website and then clicking on the section you're interested in and viewing the small group descriptions.

Words to Ponder:

 

To find the universal elements enough;

to find the air and the water exhilarating;

to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter;

to be thrilled by the stars at night;

to be elated over a bird's nest or a wildflower in spring -

these are some of the rewards of the simple life.

 

--John Burroughs
