A lot going on at Incarnation...

Dear Friends,

A couple of folks asked me about the parable essay I read in my sermon, The Lifesaving Station - You can find the article on the web - CLICK HERE

We continue to move forward and in the next few weeks a number of opportunities and programs begin and resume...

Morning Prayer - resumes Tuesday, September 8th (the day after Labor Day) - 7:30 am and we are moving this to the chapel at RTS. Professor Reggie Kidd asked me to consider this and make it an offering to students. After some thought and discussion internally this seems right to do. Dr. Kidd is making it an option for a percentage of the grade for some of the classes he is teaching. So join us if you can in the chapel at RTS Monday-Friday / 7:30am for Morning Prayer.

Christian Formation will soon be in full swing with Sunday morning classes resuming September 13; (see schedule in the green column) Preparation for confirmation on November 15 and more. Check out a movie about Incarnation's Christian Formation Click Here and/or for a flyer... CLICK HERE.

Ministry Sunday / Our 3rd Anniversary as an organized mission of the Diocese / and much more on September 13th. Don't miss this marker in our journey as we look at where we have been and where we are going as a congregation. Much to give thanks for and much to celebrate. The Rev. Canon Ernie Bennett will be our guest preacher. We begin Christian Formation, a visit from James Palmer SAMS missionary in Chile and more. So clear your calendar and be here September 13th.
